Comparison of phosphorus release from littoral and profundal sediments in a shallow, eutrophic lake

Phosphorus release from the bottom sediments of Lake Rusałka (Poznań, Poland)Experimental research conducted on bottom sediments from the eutrophic Lake Rusałka (Poznań, Poland) indicated that the phosphorus release process has a significant influence on the functioning of the ecosystem. Internal loading was very intense in the deepest part of the lake, where it reached up to 29.84 mg m

Buoyancy Control

The growth of Microcystis aeruginosa in a small, shallow eutrophic lake was studied during three consecutive seasons. The alga was shown to be continuously present in the plankton throughout the period. Exponential increase in the population was confined to a 5 to 8-week period, following the onset of thermal stratification. Populations appeared to originate near the bottom of the euphotic zone. The possession of an effective light-dependent buoyancy control mechanism enabled the alga to maintain station, though progressive deterioration of the photic conditions forced populations to rise and become dissipated within the epilimnion. Buoyancy increased after the cessation of growth; surface blooms often led to the physical removal of a majority of colonies to lee shores. Surviving colonies became generally less buoyant after the lake destratified in autumn.
