Phosphorus Limits

Phosphorus Limits is a scientific threshold concept that identifies the maximum allowable rate of phosphorus input into Earth's freshwater and marine systems to prevent widespread eutrophication and maintain ecosystem stability, distinguishing it from other biogeochemical limits by its focus on phosphorus cycling as a critical control variable for planetary environmental boundaries.
