Abstract: High concentrations of phosphate ion precipitate with carbonates by simple coprecipitation as the pH of marl lake water is increased. High pH microenvironments associated with photosynthesis probably induce phosphate‐carbonate precipitation, which in turn functions as one of several indirect density‐dependent population controls.
