The phosphorous sinks are the ocean and ocean sediments. The ocean holds $3 \times 10^{15}$ moles of phosphorous. The annual amount of phosphorous input into the ocean, and well as the amount of burial of phosphorous as sediment is on the order of $10^{10}$ moles. The sediment is of three categories: 1. Phosphorous associated with calcium carbonate 2. Organic phosphorous (associated with organic carbon) 3.
