Phosphorus (P) is essential for function and growth of all living organisms and limits primary productivity in some ocean regions today. Thus, it is important to understand the processes of P utilization in aquatic systems. P occurs in nature primarily in one oxidation state (+5) and in one form, orthophosphate (PO4). Although P has only one stable isotope (31P), during most biogeochemical cycling reactions P is bonded to oxygen (O), an element with three stable isotopes. Thus isotopic ratios of oxygen bonded to P provide an opportunity for stable isotope studies of reactions of P in nature. The overall goal of the studies in this thesis is to characterize the O isotope effects of the reactions that take place during biogeochemical cycling of P, and to apply these O isotopic signatures to trace the sources and the reaction pathways of P in natural environments.

520 $a Phosphorus (P) is essential for function and growth of all living organisms and limits primary productivity in some ocean regions today. Thus, it is important to understand the processes of P utilization in aquatic systems. P occurs in nature primarily in one oxidation state (+5) and in one form, orthophosphate (PO4). Although P has only one stable isotope (31P), during most biogeochemical cycling reactions P is bonded to oxygen (O), an element with three stable isotopes. Thus isotopic ratios of oxygen bonded to P provide an opportunity for stable isotope studies of reactions of P in nature. The overall goal of the studies in this thesis is to characterize the O isotope effects of the reactions that take place during biogeochemical cycling of P, and to apply these O isotopic signatures to trace the sources and the reaction pathways of P in natural environments.
520 $a Distinctive and distinguishable O isotopic signatures are produced by different P cycling pathways. In experiments mimicking natural apatite formation, only a small fractionation (&sim;1&permil;) was observed between solid and aqueous Pi phases. Degradation of organic matter by UV photooxidation retains unaltered delta18O values of PO4 derived from phosphomonoesters; and microbial turnover of Pi---uptake and subsequent release by cells---will drive Pi toward equilibrium with ambient water (Blake et al., 2001). Pi regenerated from phosphomonoesters incorporates one O atom from ambient water, whereas Pi derived from phosphodiesters incorporates two. Incorporation of water O causes Pi regenerated from enzymatic degradation of Porg to shift away from equilibrium delta18O values.
520 $a Pidelta18O was applied to study P cycling in organic-rich sediments with high microbial activities at the Peru Margin. The measured Pidelta18O values together with interstitial water chemistry show that in addition to a strong microbial turnover signature, two different processes (enzymatic Porg degradation and redox controlled Pi absorption/desorption) affect P cycling, and that microbial activity was the primary force behind post-deposition P redistribution. This successful application of Pidelta 18O values to tracing P cycling processes in natural environments strongly supports the use of Pidelta18O as a novel tool for studying reaction pathways of P in aquatic systems.
