Research Impact

Phase I characterized the forms and solubilities of phosphorus in a variety of biosolids products and in biosolids-soils matrices. Phase II research will confirm findings on the fate of phosphorus added to soils from biosolids and manures and will improve our ability to use these amendments for environmentally sound crop production.
