ʻO Phosphorus (P) kekahi o nā mea nui a me nā mea hoʻohui o ka biosfer, ʻoiai he ʻāpana ia o nā nucleic acid a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i pili i nā hana metabolic ikehu. ʻO ka hemahema phosphorus e alakaʻi i kahi hōʻemi o ka hana o ke kino. Me ke kaapuni ʻana o kēia mea i ke kaiapuni, pau nā mea āpau me kāna ʻike a pau a hoʻonā liʻiliʻi paha. ʻO nā mea paʻa paʻa loa ka magnesium a me ka calcium orthophosphates. I kekahi mau hāʻina, hoʻololi ʻia lākou i dihydrogen phosphates, i komo i ka flora. A ʻo kahi hopena, ʻike ʻia nā mea hoʻohui i loko o ka phosphorus mai nā phosphates inorganic.
Ke hoʻokumu a me ka holo o P
I ke kaiapuni, loaʻa ka phosphor i loko o kekahi mau pōhaku e kū ana i loko o ka ʻōpū o ka Honua. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kaʻapuni o kēia mea i ke ʻano i ʻelua mau ʻāpana:
- terrestrial - hoʻomaka ke hiki mai nā pōhaku i piha iā P i ka ʻili, kahi e hoʻāhu ai;
- wai - komo ka mea i loko o ke kai, ʻoluʻolu ʻia kahi ʻāpana e nā ʻelele ponoʻīpoplankton, a laila, ʻai ʻia e nā manu kai a hoʻopuehu pū ʻia me kā lākou huahana neoneo.
ʻO ka ʻāpana o ka lepo manu, nona ka P, pau i ka ʻāina, a hiki iā lākou ke holoi ʻia i ke kai, kahi e hele ai nā mea āpau i ka pōʻai like. Eia kekahi, komo ka phosphor i loko o ka wai i loko o ka decomposition o nā kino o nā holoholona kai. Noho kekahi o nā iwi o ka iʻa i lalo o ke kai, hōʻiliʻili a lilo i pōhaku sedimentary.
ʻO ka māʻona nui o nā kino wai me ka phosphore e alakaʻi i nā hopena aʻe:
- hoʻonui i ka helu o nā mea kanu i nā wahi wai;
- pua o nā kahawai, nā kai a me nā wai o nā wai ʻē aʻe;
- eutrofication.
ʻO kēlā mau mea i loko o ka phosphor a aia ma ka ʻāina e komo i ka lepo. Hoʻokomo nā aʻa kanu i ka P me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ke pau ka mauʻu, nā lāʻau, a me nā nāhelehele, hoʻi ka phosphor i ka honua me lākou. Ua nalowale ia mai ka honua ke hiki mai ka ʻaʻai wai. I kēlā mau lepo me kahi ʻike P kiʻekiʻe, ma lalo o ka mana o nā kumu like ʻole, hoʻokumu ʻia nā apatites a me nā phosphorites. Hāʻawi ʻia kahi hāʻawi ʻokoʻa i ka pōʻaiapuni P e nā poʻe e hoʻohana ana i nā mea momona momona a me nā kemika home me R.
No laila, ʻo ke kaʻapuni o ka phosphore i ke kaiapuni kahi hana lōʻihi. I loko o kāna papa, komo ka mea i ka wai a me ka honua, hoʻomāʻona i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu e noho ana ma ka honua a me ka wai, a komo pū i ke kino o ke kanaka i kekahi nui.
