Spatial distribution of sediment nitrogen and phosphorus in Lake Taihu from a hydrodynamics-induced transport perspective.
Science of the Total Environment 2019 Februrary 11
Hydrodynamics play an important role in sediment nutrient dynamics in large shallow eutrophic lakes. In this study, the spatial patterns of sediment nitrogen and phosphorus in Lake Taihu were compared from a hydrodynamics-induced transport perspective based on high-resolution investigation of sediment, field observations, numerical simulations and long-term ecological data analysis. The results showed that sediments were primarily distributed in the west and southeast portions of the lake. Additionally, the total nitrogen (TN) and phosphorus (TP) stored in the active sediments was 166,329 t and 67,112.4 t, respectively. The sediment TN content was 319.4-3123.8 mg kg-1 , with high content areas being primarily located in the Zhushan, Meiliang and East Taihu bays. The external nitrogen-containing nutrients in the overlying water, which is mostly dissolved nitrogen, can be horizontally transported by lake currents to the water areas with high biomass levels and weak vertical hydrodynamic disturbance where sediment nitrogen enrichment primarily occurs via bio-deposition. The sediment TP content ranged between 382.6 and 1314.1 mg kg-1 , and the high content areas were primarily distributed near the inflowing river mouths. Sediment phosphorus enrichment primarily occurred via physical and chemical deposition. Surface waves caused vertical phosphorus transport from sediments to the overlying water but had a limited effect on its spatial distribution. Although the horizontal transport of phosphorus was found to be weaker than that of nitrogen, short-distance vertical transport of sediment phosphorus may relieve nutrient limitations, leading to maintenance of cyanobacterial blooms found in Lake Taihu.
