Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present research, we aimed to evaluate the formation of phosphorus hot spot and its effect on nutrient cycle and biological production in coastal subsurface zone of enclosed bays. Long-term analysis of phosphorus accumulation in the coastal sediment of Seto Inland Sea indicates that phosphorus discharge from land to sea increased from 8,000 to 6,000 years ago by significant warming impact. In addition,the peaks of phosphorus accumulation were detected in 1970s in coastal sediments of enclosed bays. The catchment model (SWAT) simulation suggested intensive phosphorus supply to the coastal zone due to human activities.These two types of hot spots affected to phytoplankton broom in 2,000 years ago of the period when the sea receded, and to biological production in present, respectively.The transports from these hot spots to the sea were conducted by groundwater flow under a reducing environment.
