Notes:
Abstract Models are presented in order of progressively more complex spatial resolution in which the effects on the sediment-water interactions are emphasized. For simple models, the diagnostic approach of calculating the net settling and return of total phosphorus is demonstrated with data from Lake Erie. For more complex models, the effects of interbasin transport and vertical mixing are shown to be important in determining the pathways of the sediment-released or sediment-bound phosphorus in the water column.
