Effect of Artificial Aeration on Sediment Nutrient Release and Nutrient Availability to Phytoplankton Growth

摘要

1. Internal loading from sediment is the major source of N and P in the reservoirstudied.2. Increase of DO level at water-sediment interface resulted in nearly 50% reductionof sediment P release; however, significant amount of P continued to be releasedunder aerobic condition.
