Abstract:

Sediments in lakes have formed under the conditions of sensitive ecosystem functions as archives of micro- and macrocomponents. Besides others, lake sediments preserve palaeobotanical and chemical evidence reflecting environmental changes. During the last centuries, sediment composition has been influenced also by inconsistent urban and industrial developments. This paper represents the results of chemical and palaeobotanical signatures in the sediments from four lakes of different origin: Lake Lilaste, Lake Velnezers, Lake Engure, and Lake Vevers. The data were compared with the results from

This study aimed to reveal the distribution characteristics and sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in sediments of typical lakes in the southeastern of the Hubei province and provide a reference for pollution control of eutrophic lakes. The sediments of four typical lakes (Liangzi, Baoan, Daye, and Qingshan) in the southeastern of the Hubei Province were investigated in May 2019.

Abstract:

The mechanisms driving changes in the stability of phosphorus (P) in sediments under lake ecosystem degradation remain poorly understood. This study investigated the P-binding forms in sediments from three plateau lakes with different trophic states in Yunnan Province, China, aiming to elucidate the responses of sediment P compositions to human activities, lake trophic status, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics. The results showed that human activity directly contributed to sediment P retention. The trophic type of lake exerted a discernible effect on P mobility in the sediment

Shallow lake sediments have huge potential for carbon storage, but they are vulnerable to various environmental changes and are highly susceptible to becoming a source of carbon emissions.

Sediment is a core part of lake ecosystems, and its organic matter (OM) content is a key indicator of lake ecological health and regional carbon cycling. OM provides nutrients for phytoplankton and algae in water, thereby influencing the degree of lake eutrophication. However, excessively high OM content may trigger water eutrophication, alter sediment’s physical and chemical properties, and ultimately threaten the stability and health of ecosystems.

Abstract:

While lakes occupy less than 2% of the total surface of the Earth, they play a substantial role in global biogeochemical cycles. For instance, shallow lakes are important sites of carbon metabolism. Aerobic respiration is one of the important drivers of the carbon metabolism in lakes. In this context, bioturbation impacts of benthic animals (biological reworking of sediment matrix and ventilation of the sediment) on sediment aerobic respiration have previously been underestimated. Biological activity is likely to change over the course of a year due to seasonal changes of water temperatures. T

Abstract Sulphur contents and sulphur isotope ratios (δ34 So/00 values) in deep sediments (10–12 cms; circa 50–100 years before the present) and surface sediments (0–2 cm; circa 0–10 years before the present) from eight lakes located north of Lake Superior, Canada indicated that surface sediments had a significantly higher sulphur content (largely organic sulphur) per gram dry weight and a lower sulphur isotope ratio than the deeper layers. The increased sulphur content and decreased sulphur isotope ratios (δ34 S0/00 values) in the surficial sediments were much greater for the lakes near and d

Comparison of 14C dates of bulk samples of laminated sediment with varve chronology and available AMS dates of terrestrial macrofossils indicates a reservoir correction of 2000 ± 120 yr for the basal series of lake sediments. 14C dates obtained on peat layers underlying the oldest lacustrine sediments in Gościąż and other lakes consistently locate the beginning of organogenic sedimentation in this area at ca. 13 ka bp.

Humic substances (HS) were extracted from the sediments of four Sudbury area lakes, namely, Tilton, Clearwater, Silver, and Ramsey Lakes, with the aid of 0.1 M Na4P2O7 and 0.5 M NaOH solutions. The HS (humic and fulvic acids) were purified and characterized using the methods of elemental analysis, visible spectroscopy (E4/E6 ratio), FTIR, and solid-state 13C CPMAS NMR. A substantial amount of information with regard to the composition and chemical nature of lake sediment HS was obtained. The results obtained for the Sudbury area lake sediments were compared with one another and with HS from ot

The vertical distribution of C/N ratios ranged from 6.14 to 11.92 in Lake Youngrang, and 6.74 to 12.34 in Lake Hwajinpo. The horizontal distribution of C/N ratios

We quantified total mercury in surficial sediments (uppermost 5 cm) of six small seepage lakes. Fifty cores were taken from each lake, based on a random sampling design stratified by water depth. Volumetric concentrations (mass per volume of wet sediment) more accurately portrayed the depth distribution of mercury in the lakes than did dry-weight concentrations, which underrepresented the significance of the shallow-water sediments as a reservoir of potentially available mercury. Estimates of whole-lake burdens (masses) of mercury in the surficial sediment, which represent the maximum amount o

At three sites (different in depth and macrophyte colonization), trends in porewater SRP concentrations ([SRP]) in the top 5 cm of the sediment from May to August varied, possibly due to root uptake of SRP by macrophytes. At a depth of 5 m, mean (in the top 5 cm of the sediment) and variance of porewater [SRP] at one site (<0.15 m2) were the same as over the entire lake. Excluding data from macrophyte

Since the water column alkalinity of Lake 114 is much lower than Lake 302, ambient alkalinity is not a good pr
