AB Floods are responsible for the variation in the concentration of different phosphorus forms contained in the sediment of a small shallow estuary (Palmones River). The maximum differences were observed in the middle estuary, while other stations, placed in the inner and outer parts, showed a less sensitive response. The apatite forms (AIP) are the major ones. Noticeable changes in the concentration of different phosphorus forms are related with fine grain size sediment. In spite of different responses obtained along the estuary, the results reveal the possibility of using phosphorus concentration as a flood event index, discarding the use of phosphorus speciation for the same purpose.

NO This article is dedicated to our revered colleague Vicente Clavero. He was Professor of Ecology in Málaga University and was involved in biogeochemical research in the Palmones River from the 1980s to his death in August 2002.     This research was supported by Grant AMB99-1088 and REN2002-00340/MAR of the Spanish Commission of Science and Technology Inter-Ministry. We would like to thank Eduardo Briones for his help in sampling trips
