Mechanistic path linking mineral formation to DRP retention and downstream water quality

This reasoning chain explains how mineral (specifically calcium) formation in stormwater pond sediments leads to high retention efficiency of dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), reducing DRP export and mitigating algal blooms in receiving P-limited freshwater systems.
