Figure 5. Solid phase phosphorus fractions for all stations (in µmol/g).

The fractions are exchangeable P (Ex-P), detrital P (Detr-P), authigenic Ca-P (Auth-P), Organic P (Org-P) and Fe-bound P (Fe-P), as determined with the SEDEX extraction procedure [10]. All sediments were Unit I sediments except the turbidite and Unit II sediments at station 5. Note the differences in depth scale for each station. Water depth is given in meters below the sea surface (mbss).
