Authigenic apatite and octacalcium phosphate formation due to adsorption–precipitation switching across estuarine salinity gradients

Mechanisms governing phosphorus (P) speciation in coastal sediments remain largely unknown due to the diversity of coastal environments and poor analytical specificity for P phases. We investigated P speciation across salinity gradients comprising diverse ecosystems in a P-enriched estuary. To deter...
