TL;DR: This work critically review the extraction of soil organic phosphorus, including procedures for quantification, speciation, and assessment of biological availability, including a single-step procedure involving sodium hydroxide and EDTA.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight specific fundamental components of P fractionation, including sample preparation and handling, determination of P in extracts, fraction validation and residual P. They make specific recommendations on fractionation procedures to be used in the assessment of P transformations in various types of soil and sediments, dependent on the study objective.

TL;DR: The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) as discussed by the authors is an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of the environment with the complex management of water and the seemingly unbridled economic growth of southern Florida.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model is proposed, in which the focused redistribution of limiting nutrients, especially phosphorus, onto tree islands controls their maintenance and expansion, which can result in an increase in both tree island elevation and size.

TL;DR: Research on the cycling of organic phosphates in wetlands focuses conventionally on the turnover of phosphate monoesters, but the results suggest strongly that greater emphasis should be given to understanding the role of phosphate diesters and phosphodiesterase activity.
