Modeling bioavailable phosphorus via other phosphorus fractions in sediment cores from Jiulongkou Lake, China

Bioavailable phosphorus (BAP) plays an important role in phosphorus (P) release from lake and river sediments, as well as serves as an indicator for the potential P-release risk in sediment. Developing a feasible model which could predict BAP via other P fractions is needed for the lakes and reservoirs without regular BAP monitoring. The algal available P (AAP), NaHCO₃ extractable P (Olsen-P), water soluble P (WSP) and readily desorption P (RDP) are four fractions of BAP. The vertical and spatial distributions of BAP fractions of three sediment cores from Jiulongkou Lake were analyzed. In addition, the P fractions, including total P (TP), organic P (OP), inorganic P (IP), non-apatite inorganic P (NAIP), and apatite P (AP) were measured to develop a model for predicting BAP. The model for each BAP fraction was developed based on datasets from Jiulongkou Lake and validated by the datasets collected from Wujin and Wugong Lake. The results showed that all of the four BAP fractions decreased with depth, along the direction of contaminant transport. Their rank order was AAP > Olsen-P > WSP > RDP in all samples. The concentration of BAP was affected by the anthropogenic input and aquatic macrophyte growth. Each of the four BAP fractions could be simulated by different P fractions: both AAP and Olsen-P were expressed by NAIP and OP, WSP had a significant relationship with OP, and RDP had significant relationship with IP. NAIP and OP were the major sources of the BAP fraction. The simulated results in two other lakes further illustrated that this model could be used to successfully predict the BAP concentrations in lakes in the study area, and holds promise for predicting the BAP levels in other lakes and reservoirs as well.     

Distributions of total,inorganic and organic phosphorus in surface and recent sediments of the sub-tropical and semi-pristine Guaratuba Bay estuary,SE Brazil

This study addresses the distribution of total phosphorus (TP) and its inorganic (IP) and organic (OP) fractions, grain-size and organic matter of surface and recent sediments, coupled to the behavior of total and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (TP and DIP) of the water column, of the semi-pristine Guaratuba Bay estuary, SE Brazil. Surface sediment samples were taken at 43 sites spread along the estuarine gradient and recent sediments from 3 short (35 cm long) cores from the upper, central and lower portions of the estuary, respectively. Highest TP and IP concentrations of surface sediments were detected within the upper sector and the transition zone between the upper and central sectors, all characterized by fine sediments, low salinities and water depths. In contrast, the lower sector and its narrow and deep tidal channel, subject to more intense tidal forcing, exhibited a higher fraction of sandy sediments with lower TP, IP and OP contents. In spite of the spatial variability in sediment grain size, IP corresponded to the major fraction of TP in all estuarine sectors and both TP and IP correlated significantly with the fine sedimentary (silt + clay) grain-size fraction. The fine surface sediments acted as a trap for IP at the fresh water–low salinity interface, which also corresponded to the region of a DIP sink in surface waters. In general, the short sediment cores showed that TP and IP contents increased from 15 cm depths to the top layer. Published sedimentation rates from additional cores taken at the sites of the short cores of this study, implied that depositional alterations of TP and IP increased during the early 1970s, which corresponded to the onset of anthropogenic disturbances from crop plantations in the lowland plains of the river end-member and urbanization at the estuary’s mouth and along the adjacent coast.

长江河口及其上海岸带水体沉积物中磷的存在形态

讨论了磷的 5种存在形态及其分布规律。河口及岸带水体沉积物中磷主要是以有机磷 (OP)和无机磷 (IP)形式存在的 ,有机磷是有机质的组成部分 ,无机磷又可分为可溶性磷(DP)、铁结合磷 (Fe P)、铝结合磷 (Al P)、钙结合磷 (Ca P)。研究发现 ,沉积物中总磷含量水平在 6 92 79～ 1570 99μg/g之间 ,无机磷含量在 2 2 0 0 2～ 92 8 33μg/g之间 ,占总磷含量的31 8%～ 6 0 5% ,而有机磷含量在 394 89～ 6 4 2 6 6 μg/g之间 ,为总磷含量的 39 5%～ 6 8 2 %。在分析水体沉积物中各形态磷的含量和变化的基础上 ,对磷在时空上的变化、与有机碳、总氮的关系以及污水输入影响等进行了初步的论述 ,并提出沉积物中铁结合磷 (Fe P)和铝结合磷 (Al P)可作为判断污染的指标之一。     

乌梁素海沉积物中全磷的分布特征

开展了浅水草型湖泊乌梁素海沉积物中TP(全磷)的分布特征研究。结果表明,乌梁素海表层沉积物中TP含量在0.37~0.99 g/kg之间变化,平均值为0.75 g/kg;水平分布上,TP含量呈现从湖区四周向湖心递减的变化趋势,大部分湖区已具有生态毒性效应,并对湖区底栖生物群落和生态环境构成了较大威胁;垂向上,尽管沉积物中TP含量有所波动,但0~10 cm的表层沉积物中TP含量均随深度增加而递减,揭示了近年来人类活动的加剧对乌梁素海沉积物中磷累积的重大影响;实验得出了粉砂、粘土粒级>极细砂粒级>细砂粒级>中砂以上粒级的TP含量序列,各粒级对TP的吸附贡献率由吸附能力和质量百分比共同控制;磷的沉积对乌梁素海富营养化进程有深远影响。     

沉水植物黑藻对上覆水中各形态磷浓度的影响

室内模拟研究了沉水植物黑藻对上覆水中不同形态磷浓度的影响及其季节性变化,并从沉水植物生长、间隙水和碱性磷酸酶活性(APA)三方面进行了讨论,进一步揭示磷在浅水湖泊水-沉积物界面的交换机理。结果表明,在本研究条件下,上覆水中各形态磷以溶解性总磷(DTP)为主,其他形态磷浓度变异较大,黑藻降低了上覆水中总磷(TP)、溶解性活性磷(SRP)和DTP浓度,也降低了DTP和SRP占总磷的比例,从而使颗粒态总磷(PP)和溶解性有机磷(DOP)占总磷比例升高。黑藻主要通过吸收上覆水中的磷和抑止沉积物、上覆水中APA使上覆水中各形态磷浓度保持较低水平,其中对SRP和DTP浓度的影响更明显。上覆水中各形态磷浓度呈现明显的季节性变化。在7～8月,TP、SRP和DTP浓度呈下降趋势,并在8月达到最低值;9～10月间有所升高,但仍然维持在较低水平,不同采样时间存在波动。     

Nutrient contents in bottom sediment samples from a southern Brazilian microbasin

The nutrients, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, significantly affect the quality of aquatic environments, especially when present at concentrations above natural levels. In this context, the sedimentary column can act as an environment for storage or accumulation of these nutrients and for the reprocessing of such substances in the water column and aquatic biota. In this context, this study aimed to estimate the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), inorganic phosphorus (IP) and organic phosphorus (OP) in seven sediment samples that were collected from the Marrecas Stream microbasin (Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil). The relationships among the sediment nutrient concentrations and the levels of organic matter (OM), fine material (silt–clay) and the concentration of the metal species, Al, Fe and Mn, as well as the possible nutrient sources to the stream studied were also evaluated. The data set suggest that the TOC and IP appear to have a direct correlation with the vast riparian vegetation present in areas adjacent to the sampling points and to the physico-chemical properties of the water and sedimentary column. Moreover, the results obtained for TN suggest that its concentration possibly suffers interference from the temperature of the water and its oxygenation, in addition to other biological activities. On the other hand, one cannot rule out human interference, mainly in the levels of OP, possibly due to the inflow of domestic sewage to the stream.     

Distribution and speciation of phosphorus in sediments of Dongping Lake,North China

Dongping Lake is an important regulator for the Eastern Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China, and the water quality assurance of it is of great importance. To investigate the distribution characteristics and burial process of phosphorus (P) in Dongping Lake as well as their relationship with regional economic development and human activities, 33 spatially distributed surface sediment samples and one lake sediment core were extracted from Dongping Lake. A harmonized procedure for the P forms in freshwater sediments developed by the European Programme, Standards, Measurements, and Testing was used in this paper. The results show that NaOH–P (P bound to Al, Fe, Mn oxides or hydroxides), HCl–P (Ca-bound P), inorganic phosphorus (IP), organic phosphorus (OP), and total phosphorus (TP) in the surface sediments show a strong spatial variability. The highest NaOH–P and OP concentrations were observed in the eastern and south-eastern region of the lake and decreased gradually away from the mouth area of Dawen River. We deduced that anthropogenic input via the Dawen River is the main contributor. The higher concentration of HCl–P occurred in the north-west region of the lake and increased in a gradient away from the mouth area of Dawen River, and this pattern of distribution could be related to grain-size effects and higher transport energies close to riverine inlets. Pollution reflected by phosphorus in the core sediments of Dongping Lake is well consistent with the economic development history of Dongping County. From the beginning of the 20th century to the middle 1970s, the concentrations of each P speciation did not vary largely and runoff of the Yellow River mainly contributed to the P accumulation in the sediment, which might reflect the background values of them in the lake in pre-industrial period. The stable Mz (mean grain size), low loss-on-ignition (LOI), and high sedimentary flux also support this. The rapid increase of NaOH–P and OP at 10–0 cm (especially 5–0 cm) indicates the enhancing anthropogenic eutrophication since the middle 1970s. The LOI peak period and a coarsening of particle size also support this interpretation. However, the decreasing of TP and HCl–P was attributed to the change in sediment supply. As due to construction of dams around the lake, runoff of the Dawen River mainly contributed to the P accumulation in the sediment during this period.     

苏北潮滩湿地不同生态带碳、氮、磷分布特征*

通过对比苏北潮滩湿地不同生态带的表层以及柱状沉积物中总有机碳、总氮、总磷和有机磷含量,并结合不同植被不同植株部位中碳、氮、磷的含量变化,分析了潮滩沉积物中碳、氮、磷的垂向和水平分布特征与规律,探讨了不同生态带以及潮滩植被对碳、氮、磷等生源要素的富集作用。对比分析结果表明:苏北潮滩湿地各生态带对不同的测量指标有着不同的富集作用,互花米草滩的总有机碳、总氮和有机磷含量要远大于其他几个生态带,光滩沉积物中总磷的含量最高; 粒度效应是控制互花米草前缘地带以及互花米草滩沉积物中有机碳和氮分布的一个重要因素,盐蒿和芦苇滩中有机碳和氮的分布更多的是受粒度之外的其他因素影响; 不同生态带表层沉积物中的C/N比值分布,大致可反映其有机物来源的差异,而不同生态带中柱状沉积物中的C/N比值相对接近,很难根据C/N比值大小来对不同生态带中的有机物来源进行判断,这可能是埋藏在柱状沉积物中的有机物更多的受到了早期成岩作用造成的。植被对潮滩湿地中碳、氮、磷的分布有着重要影响,3种物质在互花米草、盐蒿和芦苇中的含量差别不是很大,因此潮滩植被对沉积物中上述3种物质的贡献差别主要是由不同植被的生物量和其所处环境的沉积动力差异造成的。     

土垫旱耕人为土中磷的分布特征及其土壤发生学意义

本研究以我国半干旱地区的土垫旱耕人为土为对象,分析在自然土壤发生过程和人类活动影响下,不同形成阶段内土壤中总磷（TP）、速效磷（AP）、有机磷（OP）和无机磷（IP）的含量和分布特征。同时也探讨现代土壤利用方式的影响。结果表明,与半干润淋溶土层相比,堆垫层总磷、速效磷、有机磷和无机磷平均分别增加0.29,4.67,0.20和0.30倍;堆垫层段内,现代耕作层（Aup1）中各形态磷含量最高,向下至亚耕层（Aup2）迅速降低,而由亚耕层（Aup2）至埋藏耕作层（Aupb）和半干润淋溶土表层（2A）总磷和无机磷逐渐降低,反映了不同历史时期人类活动强度不同;半干润淋溶土层段内,土壤中的磷主要来自于黄土母质,其变化以受自然成土因素影响为主,总磷、速效磷、有机磷、无机磷含量较低且层间变化不大。菜地土壤中堆垫层内各形态磷的含量显著大于农田土壤。土壤利用方式对磷的影响大于堆垫厚度。各形态磷在剖面中的分布模式与磷素自身的迁移、淋失到下层的钙等因素有关,同时也受根系的吸收、人为灌溉施肥等因素影响。剖面中OP与OP/IP之间以及各形态磷与其他土壤理化性质的关系可以指示自然条件和人为影响的差异。     

Spatial variations and distributions of phosphorus and nitrogen in bottom sediments from a typical north-temperate lake,China

Concentrations and vertical distributions of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and their different forms in sediments obtained from nine locations of Lake Dalinouer in September 2008 were analyzed. The results demonstrated that TP in surface sediments ranged from 0.493 to 0.904 g/kg, and inorganic phosphorus was the main fraction of total phosphorus, ranging from 335 to 738 mg/kg. Simultaneously, the autogenetic calcium phosphorus (ACa-P) was the main fraction of inorganic phosphorus, ranging from 145.4 to 543.2 mg/kg. Vertical distribution of different phosphorus forms in different sediment cores was distinguishing, and most of them tended to increase toward the surface sediment, indicated that the phosphorus concentration was related to the humanity with a certain extent. The relationships between TP and occluded phosphorus and ACa-P were significant. Nitrogen in the sediment was composed mainly of organic nitrogen, accounting for grater than 80 % of TN. NO₃ ^?-N was the dominate fraction of inorganic nitrogen in the surface sediment, ranging between 51 and 346 mg/kg (151.1 ± 104.4 mg/kg), and accounting for between 2.2 and 17.7 % of total sediment nitrogen (6.2 ± 5.6 %). The ratio of organic carbon and TN in sediment was in range of 6.0–25.8 and presented a tendency of lake centre >lake sides, indicating that nitrogen accumulated in the sediments from lake sides came mainly from terrestrial source and nitrogen was mainly autogenetic in lake centre. Ratio of N:P in all sampling sites was below 14, indicated that N was the limiting nutrient for algal growth in this lake.     

南四湖及主要入湖河流沉积物中磷的赋存形态研究

应用沉积物磷形态SMT提取方法,分析了南四湖及主要入湖河流丰水季节表层沉积物、独山湖及微山湖区沉积岩芯中磷的含量及形态组成变化,研究了磷的埋藏演化过程与人为污染特征.结果表明,老运河表层沉积物中磷的含量最高,为13068.3 mg/kg,以OP及NaOH-P为主,其富集系数分别为6.5和9.0,主要是与来自济宁市的废水污染有关.其余表层沉积物以HCl-P为主;受人为污染的影响,NaOH-P、OP产生一定程度的富集,其富集系数分别为1.0.3.7、1.3～6.0;部分沉积物中高含量的有机质加重了OP的富集.独山湖及微山湖沉积岩芯中以HCl-P和OP为主;20世纪60年代末期以来,随着湖泊生产力的提高及早期成岩过程中有机质的矿化分解,独山湖及微山湖沉积岩芯中TOC含量自下而上呈指数增加,这也导致了沉积物中OP的增加;独山湖及微山湖沉积岩芯6～0 cm和5～0 cm较高的OP及NaOH-P含量,指示了20世纪80年代中期以来磷的人为污染过程.     

Phosphorus distribution and retention in lacustrine wetland sediment cores of Lake Changshou in the Three Gorges Reservoir area

Lake Changshou is a eutrophic reservoir of the Longxi River in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. In this study, we sampled the sediment of the lacustrine wetland to determine phosphorous (P) fractions, their distribution, and retention along the water level, with the overall aim to evaluate biogeochemical P migration. Total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in the water-level zone varied from 106.60 to 1178.86 mg/kg, with highest levels in the shallow-water area. With increasing sediment depth, TP levels decreased. The different wetland zones (land area, area with fluctuating water levels, shallow-water area, and deep-water area) were dominated by different P fractions. Based on our results, the hot spot of P accumulation in the littoral zone is the shallow-water area, possibly because of the significant hydrological changes.     

太湖东部湖湾水生植物生长区底泥氮磷污染特征

为了解太湖东部湖湾(贡湖湾、光福湾、渔洋湾)表层底泥中氮、磷的污染特征及其与水生植物生长的关系,采集了各湖湾滨岸带水生植物生长区的表层底泥,探讨了水生植物的生长与分布对表层底泥中总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)及总有机碳(TOC)等含量的影响,并对表层底泥进行营养评价.结果表明,水生植物生长密集区底泥中TN、TP、TOC的含量均显著低于水生植物零星生长区,说明水生植物的生长对太湖东部湖湾表层底泥中营养盐与有机碳含量具有较为明显的影响;相关性分析显示,表层底泥中TOC与TN含量呈显著相关性(R2=0.832 8),而与TP的相关性则较弱(R2=0.166 5),反映了TOC在湖泊底泥中的沉积可能成为湖泊氮的重要来源,而对磷的影响较小.利用有机指数与有机氮指数两种方法分别对东部各湖湾底泥进行污染评价,贡湖湾、光福湾、渔洋湾底泥有机指数平均值分别为0.142 7、0.228 6与0.208 6,均属较清洁与尚清洁水平,而各湖湾有机氮指数平均值均为Ⅲ与Ⅳ级,说明底泥已遭受了一定程度的氮污染.因此,对水生植物零星生长区表层底泥中氮含量的控制与削减有利于湖泊富营养化的预防与治理.     

湖泊沉积物中三种磷提取方法比较

水体沉积物中磷的分级提取没有统一的方法,大多数的提取方法只对沉积物中无机磷(IP)进行了研究,有机磷(OP)是作为一个整体被研究,OP的形态尚不清楚。文章探讨了SMT法、Ivanoff法和Golterman法三种方法对湖泊沉积物中磷形态提取的特征,分析了各方法应用于IP和OP形态提取的联系和差别。结果表明SMT法提取的钙磷(Ca-P)是Golterman法提取Ca-P的16倍,Golerman法提取的铁铝结合态磷(Fe/Al-P)是SMT法提取的近3倍。从OP提取结果来看,Goterlman法>Ivanoff法>SMT法,Golterman法和Ivanoff法提取的酸可提取有机磷相差较大,其他形态OP含量则相当。研究结果对于沉积物磷形态分析提取方法的合理选择具有指导意义。     

Trends in phosphatase activity along a successional gradient of tidal freshwater marshes on the Cooper River South Carolina

Phosphatase activity was measured in sediments from tidal freshwater habitats adjacent to the Cooper River in South Carolina representing different stages of ecological succession. It was found that sediment (0–5 cm) acid phosphatase activity, alkaline phosphatase activity and phosphodiesterase activity increased with increasing successional stage and phytomass. Acid phosphatase activity in creased from 7.5±1.2 (±1 SD) in subtidal sediment from a shallow open water habitat without vegetation to 61.2±4.9 μmol g⁻¹ hr⁻¹ (μmol of p-nitrophenol released per gram of dry sediment per hour) in intertidal sediments colonized by emergent macrophytes, while alkaline phosphatase activity increased from 2.1±0.1 to 19.01±1.5 μmol g⁻¹ hr⁻¹. Phosphodiesterase activity increased from 1.8±0.1 to 20.2±2.0 μmol g⁻¹ hr⁻¹ along the same gradient. Acid phosphatase activity was highly correlated (R²=0.92, P<0.001) with the organic matter content of the sediment. A study of phosphatase kinetics showed that V_max of all phosphatases also increased along the successional gradient. Trends in phosphatase activity and V_max correlated positively with plant biomass and negatively with concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorus in porewater, sediment extractable phosphorus, and total phosphourus. The porewater N∶P atom ratio decreased along the succession gradient from 25.3 in an early stage, open water community to 13.0 in a community dominated by emergent vegetation. The data also show that the distribution of the forms of phosphorus changed with successional stage. The change in distribution and the increased biological demand for phosphorus that paralleled succession were mediated by the activity of phosphatase enzymes.     

Seasonal variations of phosphorus species in sediment from the middle Adriatic Sea

Phosphorus (P) species concentrations in 0–2 cm surface sediment layer were investigated monthly from November 2001 to December 2002 at the bay, channel and open sea stations in the middle Adriatic. Modified SEDEX method was used for inorganic phosphorus species determination [P in biogenic (P-FD), authigenic (P-AUT), detrital apatite (P-DET) and P adsorbed on to iron oxides and hydroxides (P–Fe)], and organic phosphorus (P-ORG). P-FD, P-AUT and P-DET concentration ranges (1.5–5.4, 0–2.7 and 0.4–3.4 μmol g⁻¹, respectively) were similar at all stations, and showed no obvious common trend of seasonal changes. P–Fe ranged from 1.9 to 11.9 μmol g⁻¹ with the highest values at bay station and higher seasonal oscillations than other inorganic P forms. P-ORG ranged from 0.3 to 18.7 μmol g⁻¹ with higher concentrations at stations of fine-sized sediments and showed increased concentrations in warm part of the year at all stations. Correlation between concentrations of P–Fe in the surface sediment layer and orthophosphate sediment-water interface concentration gradients at bay and channel stations indicated to P–Fe importance in the orthophosphate benthic flux. For the bay station, linkage between sediment P-ORG and chlorophyll a concentrations, primary production and microzooplankton abundance was established, indicating a 1 month delay of sediment response to production fluctuations in the water column.     

Phosphorus in suspended matter and sediments of a hypertrophic lake. A case study: Lake Dianchi,China

From June 2004 to December 2004, Lake Dianchi, which had large scale of cyanobacterial blooms was investigated in order to study P-fractionation in the suspended matter and the sediment. The investigation improves our understanding of phosphorus in Lake Dianchi and the relationship between phosphorus and cyanobacterial blooms. It contributes to the available literature on the behavior of P in hypertrophic lakes. The distribution of P-fractions in Lake Dianchi was not uniform from northwest to south, but was closely related to the trophic status of the whole lake. The concentrations of total phosphorus, labile P (NH₄Cl-P), Organic P (NaOH-NRP) and loss on ignition in suspended matter were positively correlated with the strength of cyanobacterial blooms. Total phosphorus in suspended matter was relatively stable for almost half an year and closely related to Chl. a concentration. The main content of organic phosphorus is in the cyanobacterial blooms. The concentrations of phosphorus bound to metal oxides and carbonates (NaOH-SRP and HCl-P) in sediment were similar to NaOH-SRP and HCl-P in the corresponding suspended matter. The latter two forms of P in suspended matter were not affected by cyanobacterial blooms, indicating that the inorganic phosphorus is derived from the sediment after resuspension from the sediment due to wind and wave action. The contribution of the different P-fractions to TP in sediment and in suspended matter indicates that NH₄Cl-P in the suspended matter is an important buffer for maintaining dissolved phosphorus in water.     

基于水声学的太湖贡湖湾沉水植物盖度调查

沉水植物是湖泊生态系统的重要组成部分,掌握贡湖湾沉水植物分布及变化对于科学评估贡湖湾水生态状况具有重要意义。应用DT-X多功能回声探测仪开展了贡湖湾沉水植物盖度调查,并将调查结果重点与遥感解析结果进行了对比。结果表明,1m和10m断面的仪器检测结果和人工调查结果差异较小,应用水声学技术开展沉水植物盖度调查简单、高效且精度更高,可以填补现有沉水植物调查方法的空白。     

潮白河中游沉积物氮磷和有机质分布特征及评价

潮白河是京津冀地区的重要河流。本研究以潮白河中游段为研究区,针对该区段沉积物有机质、氮磷污染程度不明的问题,通过对研究区130个采样点表层沉积物中有机质(OM)、总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)的测定,分析了表层沉积物中有机质和氮磷的分布特征及污染来源,将有机指数和有机氮污染指数评价法相结合开展污染及生态风险评价。结果表明:(1)潮白河中游表层沉积物中OM含量变化范围为0.17%~13.15%,平均含量为5.32%; TN的含量为0.005~1.028 g/kg,平均含量为0.192 g/kg;TP的含量为0.367~4.825 g/kg,平均含量为1.662 g/kg。(2)相关性分析表明,OM与TP、OM与TN均呈弱相关,而TN与TP呈强相关。这是因为TN和TP来源相近,主要来自外源,与OM来源有一定差异。根据TOC/TN特征分析,OM主要受藻类、浮游植物和非纤维束植物等影响。(3)有机指数评价结果显示,潮白河中游段表层沉积物监测点中60%为清洁,33.85%为较清洁,4.62%为尚清洁,1.54%为有机污染。有机污染点主要位于运潮减河入潮白河口和田贾庄排干渠入潮白河口。区域有机氮评价结果以清洁级别为主,整体较好。
