The relative influences of biochemical uptake processes and dynamic hydrology and geomorphology on molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP) retention within a stream are compared. MRP concentrations were measured upstream and downstream of a 4.5-km reach undergoing dynamic channel adjustment in response to downstream dam removal.
