Human disruptions to the phosphorus cycle have led to adverse impacts to ecosystems and human health. Since phosphorus is also a primary nutrient for agricultural productivity and a finite resource, we need innovative and convergent strategies to manage this key element in an efficient and sustainable manner. Advancing phosphorus management at a large scale requires integrated solutions involving advances in our understanding of the fate and transport of phosphorus, along with new knowledge on the socio-economic drivers and impacts of phosphorus use, movement, and cycling. In this session we seek innovations across disciplines that can advance solutions to use and reuse phosphorus sustainably in addition to mitigating and preventing phosphorus pollution. We’re interested in research and discussion on the tradeoffs inherent to phosphorus management, convergent ideas, and solutions that can meet the needs of diverse stakeholders.
