『Abstract
There were many differences between rivers and lakes such as
flow velocity, hydraulic retention time, water vegetation community
and other chemical-physical factors that may lead to different
characteristics of sedimentary phosphorus. In our research, sedimentary
phosphorus fractions and its phosphorus adsorption differences
between the lower Nansi Lake and its main inflow rivers were compared.
The results showed that the contents of NaOH-P, Org-P, IP-P, and
TP in lake sediments were obviously higher than those in its inflow
river sediments while HCl-P had no obvious difference between
them. Based on analysis, the unstable NaOH-P would accumulate
in lake sediments, while it is difficult for it to retain in sediments
of rivers because of a high frequency of flood flows and unstable
bed sediments. In addition, water vegetation communities were
helpful in the accumulation of Org-P in lake sediments. From phosphorus
adsorption experiments results, the Ceqc (equilibrium concentration
of phosphorus release/adsorption) of lake sediments was higher
than that of river sediments. It was indicated that sedimentary
phosphorus would be more easily released from lake sediments than
river sediments. So in future more work should be focused on internal
P loading from lake sediments release.
