Laboratory-determined Phosphorus Flux from Lake Sediments as a Measure of Internal Phosphorus Loading
Eutrophication is a water quality issue in lakes worldwide, and there is a critical need to identify and control nutrient sources. Internal phosphorus (P) loading from lake sediments can account for a substantial portion of the total P load in eutrophic, and some mesotrophic, lakes. Laboratory determination of P release rates from sediment cores is one approach for determining the role of inter...
متن کاملThe influence of restoration measures on phosphorus internal loading from the sediments of a hypereutrophic lake
Uzarzewskie Lake was a hypereutrophic, dimictic lake characterized by low water transparency, high chlorophyll-a concentration and intense phytoplankton blooms; thus, restoration treatment was started. A chemical treatment, based on phosphorus inactivation with small doses of iron sulphate, was undertaken in 2006-2007. Nitrate-rich groundwater flowing from seepage springs was directed into the ...
متن کاملPhosphorus flux from bottom sediments in Lake Eucha, Oklahoma.
Phosphorus inputs into reservoirs include external sources from the watershed and internal sources from the reservoir bottom sediments. This study quantified sediment P flux in Lake Eucha, northeastern Oklahoma, USA, and evaluated the effectiveness of chemical treatment to reduce sediment P flux. Six intact sediment-water columns were collected from three sites in Lake Eucha near the reservoir ...
متن کاملSand capping for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediments.
In this research, the use of the sand capping technique for controlling phosphorus release from lake sediment was evaluated experimentally. Multiple acrylic columns were prepared to measure the dissolved oxygen, oxidation reduction potential, total phosphorus, and phosphate concentrations of the overlying water on the capping layer with thicknesses of 0, 40, and 80 mm. Sand capping effectively ...
متن کاملInfluence of pH on Phosphorus Retention in Oxidized Lake Sediments
Diel pH changes in lake waters resulting from high photosynthetic activity may regulate water-soluble P concentration (WSP) and P sorption by suspended sediments in shallow eutrophic lakes. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the pH effect on P fractions and P sorption kinetics in oxidized sediment suspensions from two subtropical lakes (Lake Apopka and Lake Okeechobee, Florida). The...
