Nitrogen exchange across the sediment-water interface after dredging: The influence of contaminated riverine suspended particulate matter
Dredging has been widely implemented in shallow lakes to reduce internal nitrogen (N) loading. The suspended particulate matter (SPM) coming from polluted rivers usually contains high levels of N and ultimately deposits on the dredged sediment surfaces near the river mouth. To study the influence of...

Zusammenfassung: | Dredging has been widely implemented in shallow lakes to reduce internal nitrogen (N) loading. The suspended particulate matter (SPM) coming from polluted rivers usually contains high levels of N and ultimately deposits on the dredged sediment surfaces near the river mouth. To study the influence of the riverine SPM on N exchange across the sediment-water interface (SWI) after dredging, a 360-day experiment was carried out comparing un-dredged and dredged sediments from Lake Chaohu, China. Dredged treatments showed a significant increase (p |
