Biogeochemistry
Adsorption is the process by which atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid adhere to a surface, forming a thin film. This phenomenon is crucial in various biogeochemical processes, influencing nutrient availability and mobility in the environment. In particular, it plays a key role in how phosphorus interacts with soil and water systems, affecting its sources and sinks as well as its biological uptake and cycling.
