『Abstract
Surface waters in Taihu Basin, China are increasingly threatened
by phosphorus (P) related eutrophication. This study investigated
the temporal-spatial status of P in sediment-water in riparian
wetlands located in the southern region of Taihu Basin. Two sets
of laboratory simulation study, 1) static columns and 2) steady-flow
flumes representing wetland in both dry and rainy seasons, were
carried out to understand the characteristics and mechanisms of
P interaction between sediment and overlying water. In wetland
sediments, significant increases in total P (TP) and NaHCO3 (pH=8.5) extractable P (Olsen-P) occurred with
the increase of NaOH+EDTA extractable P (NaOH+EDTA-P). After comparing
the P adsorption capacity (Qmax) with TP
in the sediment, there could be a risk of P export from the sediment.
In the static column experiment, dynamic characteristics of dissolved
reactive phosphorus (DRP) in the overlying water can be divided
into buffer reaction, rapid adsorption, and slow adsorption. A
quasi U-pattern curve was observed in the steady-flow flume experiment,
i.e., DRP in the overlying water decreased initially and then
increased. Because upstream water with high P concentration flowed
over the test wetland during rainy seasons, the ecological role
of P interception by the sediment could be weakened.
