They are investigating the causes of a phenomenon that can be a huge burden for people with psychiatric illnesses.

Phosphorous - too much in lakes, too little in the soil

Bern (ots) - Over-fertilised waterways, impoverished soils: the use of phosphorous in agriculture is creating a dilemma, and it all began thousands of years ago. This has been verified by an analysis funded by the SNSF. It is well known that phosphorous from agricultural fertilisation and wastewater is harmful to lakes.
