Abstract

Fractionation of the organic phosphorus (P o) in sediment samples from the Bay of Quinte (BOQ) was carried out using two independent methods. The total P o in both cases was similar, but there was some variation in the amounts in individual fractions. The methods originally developed for application to soils is recommended because the fractions conform with well-known operationally-defined sediment components. The relative amounts of P o in five sediments were in all cases in the order: residualP o > fulvic P o > humic P o > labile P o.
