Effect of terminal electron acceptors on biogeochemical processess and phosphorus cycle in sediment
Jan, Jiří ; Borovec, Jakub ; Petráš, D. ; Osafo, Nana O. A. ; Tomková, Iva ; Hubáček, Tomáš
This study focuses on the phosphorus (P) release from sediment of inflow part of Vranov reservoir under different availability of terminal electron acceptors, mainly dissolved O2 and NO3-. To understand the cycling of P in sediments, sediment cores were incubated for five weeks in three parallel variations that simulated: i) anoxia with depleted NO3-, ii) O2 saturated water column and iii) O2 saturated water column in the presence of high concentrations of NO3-. Evaluating the release of P and the impact of Iron (Fe) and its metabolism in sediment under the different conditions, water above the sediments was monitored, porewater composition and different P fractions in the sediment were analyzed.
Sedimenty jako dynamická zásoba fosforu ve stratifikované nádrži
Borovec, Jakub ; Hejzlar, Josef ; Brzáková, Martina ; Jan, J.
The ecosystem of the small, dimictic, and hypertrophic reservoir (Jordan Reservoir, Czech Republic) was studied from March 2001 till March 2004 to evaluate rates at selected pathways in the P-cycle. The rates were inferred from measurement of P mass-balance, sedimentation of seston, and P-release from sediments. A shift between seasonal changes of inflow and outflow P concentrations caused by P accumulation in the hypolimnion and the sediments was demonstrated. An important amount of P was temporally retained at the sediment surface during the summer stratification but a part of it was released back to water during the autumnal mixing, due to pore water „flushing out” and fast organic matter decomposition.
