Abstract

High concentrations of phosphate ion precipitate with carbonates by simple coprecipitation as the p H of marl lake water is increased. High p H microenvironments associated with photosynthesis probably induce phosphate‐carbonate precipitation, which in turn functions as one of several indirect density‐dependent population controls.
