本文研究主要探討高屏海域顆粒態磷之來源、分佈、通量及其地化特性，進而估算磷在此區域之埋藏通量及其埋藏效率，企望有助於達成磷在高屏海域從源到匯之瞭解。
由高屏溪輸出總磷至高屏海域每年約有3.2 × 104 ton yr-1（1.03 × 109 mol yr-1），其中PIP輸出通量為2.9 × 104 ton yr-1，佔總輸出磷的90.8%， POP佔7.4%，DIP佔1.5%，DOP佔0.3%。高屏溪下游磷之主要傳輸型態為PIP，且以10-63 μm為主要傳輸粒徑。
在高屏海域中，表層沉積物磷物種之分布，PIP佔TP的80-90%，POP佔TP的10-20%，PIP之高值位於峽谷兩側（200-600 m）及峽谷頭處，其因受淡水輸出或峽谷沉積物受濁流作用溢出至陸坡造成最高值分布。沉積物之沉積速率變化範圍介於0.032-1.62 g cm-2 yr-1，亦在峽谷兩側有高值，近一步估算出近年來總磷的埋藏通量為0.02-0.84 g cm-2 yr-1，其中PIP與POP分別佔88及12%。比較於世界上其他大陸邊緣海，除高屏峽谷兩側之高值地區以外，其餘的埋藏通量與其他大陸邊緣（渤海、黃海、密西西比河三角洲等）之通量類似。
高屏海域研究區域沉積物每年之總沉降量為6.6 × 106 ton yr-1，沉積物磷之埋藏通量為1.4 mg cm-2 yr-1，埋藏量為4227 ton yr-1，佔沉降通量的0.06%。大陸棚（< 200 m）之每年磷的埋藏量佔磷埋藏量的15%，大陸坡（200-1000 m）佔69%，陸坡底部（> 1000 m）佔16%，主因大陸棚受波浪及潮汐的再擾動，干擾了沉積物的埋藏，導致在大陸棚磷的埋藏量較低。
高屏海域磷的埋藏效率（PBE）是依PBE（％）＝ 100 × PBF /（PBF＋JP）計算而得，其中PBF為磷的埋藏量，而JP為沉積物中孔隙水之擴散量。此研究區域PBE隨站位深度而遞減，其高值（> 90%）位於南坡779-1、北坡791-L18及峽谷732-38等測站，其現象與Nazar&eacute; Canyon相似，顯示位於近岸及峽谷之PBE較高。
由高屏海域磷之收支預算模式來看，此研究區域之主要來源為高屏溪的輸入，而每年磷之輸出量為1.03 × 109 mol P yr-1，及海水中磷之淨生產力（NEP）從海水中輸入至底層沉積物之源，其通量約為1.5 × 108 mol P yr-1;但每年沉積物的累積量為1.48 × 108 mol P yr-1，估算出沉積物的累積量佔河川輸出量及NEP的12.5%。而其餘的80%左右沒有沉降於高屏海域沉積物中，可能在水體中消散或離開高屏海域到更深的海域沉積。

The purposes of this study are to investigate the sources, distributions, fluxes and phosphorus burial efficiency (PBE) of particulate phosphorus in the Gaoping (GP) coastal sea. The GP River carried about 3.14 × 104 ton yr-1 (1.03 × 109 mol yr-1) particulate P into the GP coastal sea. The total P flux was primarily determined by the river runoff during the May-yu (monsoon) and typhoon seasons. The river P was approximately consisted of 90.8% particulate inorganic-P (PIP), 7.4% particulate organic-P (POP), 1.5% dissolved inorganic-P (DIP) and 0.3% dissolved organic-P (DOP). The particulate-P existed mainly in 10-63 μm particles.
In the GP costal sea, particulate P in surface sediments was found to be 80-90% as PIP and 10-20% as POP. The highest distribution of PIP was located on the flanks of GP Canyon at the upper slope (200-600 m) region. This distribution may be caused by plumes of river sediments or turbidity currents overflowing the canyon. The sedimentation rates of sediments ranged from 0.032 to 1.62 g cm-2 yr-1 in the GP coastal sea and the highest rates were also located on both sides of the GP Canyon. The burial fluxes of total phosphorus (TP) ranged from 0.02 to 0.84 g cm-2 yr-1, consisted approximately by 88% PIP and 12% POP. The burial fluxes of this study area were generally similar to those in other continental margins (Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, Mississippi Delta).
The total depositions of sediment and TP were approximately 6.6 × 106 ton yr-1 and 4227 ton yr-1, respectively, in the study area. The burial TP was equivalent to 0.06% of deposited sediments. The buried TP can be proportionate approximately into 15% in the continental shelf (< 200 m), 69% in the continental slope (200-1000 m), and 16% in the slope basin (> 1000 m). The continental shelf (<200 m) region was apparently influenced by wave and tidal processes and prevented from sediment accumulation.
The burial efficiency of TP (PBE) in the GP costal sea is estimated accordingly to PBE (%) = 100 × PBF / (PBF+JP), where PBF is the burial flux of TP and JP is the diffusion flux of TP from porewater. The PBE decreases with the depth of sampling location and the maximum PBE locates on the station of southern canyon (779-1), the station of northern canyon (791-L18) and the station within the canyon (732-38). The PBE(s) are similar to those found in the Nazar&eacute; Canyon, showing a high PBE in coastal and/or canyon regions.
The budget model shows that the major sources of particulate-P are derived from the GP River and the net ecosystem production (NEP) from the euphotic zone of study area. The annual river load and NEP input to the study area are 1.03 × 109 mol P yr-1 and 1.5 × 108 mol P yr-1, respectively. However, annual TP accumulation in the GP costal sea is just 1.48 × 108 mol P yr-1, corresponding to 12.5% of river load and NEP input. In addition, about 80% of GP River loads do not deposit into GP sediments and may be exported out of the study area.
