To achieve a good state of aquatic environments, reducing the agricultural phosphorus load is needed. However, the recent environmental protection policies do not necessarily take into account the different forms of phosphorus nor the load of phosphorus-binding substances. In addition, the effect of chemical characteristics of water on the slow desorption of particular phosphorus is poorly understood. This project aims to answer whether phosphorus-driven eutrophication can be managed with one all-round solution, or should the solution follow the specific qualities of the aquatic systems and their catchments.
