Abstract: | Significantly intensified natural phosphorous cycles caused by human activities have resulted in some serious environmental problems that modern societies face today. The global phosphorous flows associated with present day mining, farming, animal feeding and household consumption are quantified in this paper. It examines various physical characteristics of the related phosphorous fluxes as well as their environmental impacts in different economies, including the USA, European countries and China. |
