TL;DR: It is concluded that the capacity to retain (process) P within the river channel, and hence regulate the downstream delivery of P without stressing the aquatic communities present, is considerable, especially in headwaters.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an important starting point for reducing phosphorus concentrations to the levels approaching those required for ecological improvement, is to obtain better control over point source inputs, particularly small point sources discharging to ecologically sensitive rural/agricultural tributaries.

TL;DR: A brief overview of P management strategies to maintain agricultural production and protect water quality were discussed at the conference, Practical and Innovative Measures for the Control of Agricultural Phosphorus Losses to Water, sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and held in Antrim, Northern Ireland, June 1998 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the UK as an example of societies' multiple stressors on water quality to explore the uncertainties and challenges in achieving a sustainable balance between useable water resources, diverse aquatic ecosystems and a viable agriculture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the terminology, composition and function of bio-inoculants and the many factors which impact on their efficacy for increasing P availability in different soil and plant environments.
