Popis: In order to clarify the distribution characteristics and potentially environmental effect of phosphorus (P) chemical speciation in river sediments from a typical geological P-rich (GPR) watershed, South China. Forty-eight sediment samples collected from the Huangbai River watershed, Yichang city, Hubei province. The levels of TP in Huangbai River wathershed were remarkably higher than those in most Chinese lakes, reservoirs, and river. The Ca-P and Res-P were the two dominant species that accounted for 78.7% and 13.3% of TP, respectively. Based on the sediment quality guideline (SQGs) and background values of Chinese soil and sediment, the majority of the mean TP concentrations in surface sediments were higher than their background values. The unique distribution pattern of P species in the Huangbai River watershed depends on local environment conditions and P sources. These findings improve our understanding of the eutrophication and P cycle in the GPR watershed.
