Sažetak
Organic and inorganic sediment phosphorus concentrations, organic matter content, and the granulometric composition of sediments were investigated in sediment samples from 15 middle Adriatic stations. Cluster analysis of the results obtained has confirmed differences in phosphorus concentrations in sediment at different stations depending on hydrographic properties, sediment type and sediment organic matter content. Statistically-significant correlations between the investigated parameters indicate that phosphorus in the middle Adriatic sediments is a result of sedimentation of organic matter produced in the water column.
