For the δ\u003csup\u003e18\u003c\/sup\u003eOP method to progress, further fundamental research as well as field and laboratory studies need to be conducted for a better understanding of P cycling in the environment.  Chapter 1 outlines the background and examples of δ\u003csup\u003e18\u003c\/sup\u003eOp studies in sediments, soils, fresh water, mineral fertilizers, and plants. Chapters 2 and 3 examine the stepwise extraction and purification protocols including reagents, equipment and consumables and preparations for analyses. Chapter 4 examines some of the challenges and modifications during the purification process. Chapter 5 discusses planning and designing of a study using δ\u003csup\u003e18\u003c\/sup\u003eOp, external quality assurance with an example of an inter-laboratory study. Chapter 6 outlines the conclusions, future trends, and opportunities, the scaling out of the method from laboratory to field studies.  It is expected that the δ\u003csup\u003e18\u003c\/sup\u003eO\u003csub\u003eP \u003c\/sub\u003ewould be extensively applied in research geared to understand phosphorus dynamics in different agro-environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-04-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030974992\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-97497-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 64.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44809894789260,"sku":"9783030974992","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030974992.jpg?v=1763666246","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030974992","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
