Phosphorus in earthworms from the Bornhöveder Seengebiet
Only small variations between the years
Phosphorus is an essential element for all living organisms and its body concentrations are regulated. Therefore variations in phosphorus levels are usually small, as can be seen, for instance, in earthworms from the sampling site Belauer See.
