Effect of lake acidification on the uptake of phosphorus by sediments / by T. Mayer and J.R. Kramer.: En13-5/85-104E-PDF

"Numerous studies have been carried out on the state of phosphorus in sediments and on its mobility in aquatic ecosystems. Most of the studies, however, relate to hard water lakes with large fluxes of P. Consequently, little information is available on the mobility of P in acidic lakes. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of lake acification on the immobilization of phosphorus from solution by sediments. Quantitative estimates of sorption parameters of sediments allow assessment of the relative importance of pH changes in the lake versus the geochemical characteristics of sediment in regulating the dissolved P concentration in the water. The study links together lake acidification and eutrophication and shows that acidification does not significantly influence the P-retention properties of sediments"--Management perspective.
