Organic carbon oxidation and benthic total phosphorus flux measurements from sites covering a range of bottom-water oxygen concentrations have been compiled. The data show that P regeneration relative to carbon oxidation is much more extensive in sediments overlain by oxygen-depleted waters. These results are consistent with studies showing that low oxygen bottom-water concentrations correlate with reduced total phosphorus burial efficiencies and enhanced organic carbon burial efficiencies. Based on these observations a positive feedback is proposed between water-column anoxia, enhanced benthic phosphorus regeneration, and marine productivity. This feedback may help explain the widespread accumulation of organic-rich marine sediments from anoxic waters observed in the geologic record. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
