The Difference

Natural organic matter (NOM) from five sampling stations of a shallow, eutrophic lake, Lake Kasumigaura was analyzed in four different seasons of a year by several NOM characterization methods including GPC and pyrolysis GC/MS with the objective of elucidating its characteristics as well as studying its temporal and spatial changes. A comparison was also made among the characteristics of NOM from this and two other lakes. The study showed that NOM in Lake Kasumigaura had comparable DOC, UVA260, and THMFP with that of Lake Inbanuma, but much higher than that of Lake Tsukui. Both molecular weight and polydispersities remained similar among those three sources but these values were significantly smaller in comparison with Suwannee River NOM. The similarity index analysis based on pyrochromatograms was useful to evaluate spatial and seasonal changes in NOM characteristics. Distinctive characteristics of NOM at KS1 (station near the mouth of Sakura River) were better explained by the difference in pyro-chromatograms rather than in general water quality. Except for KS1, the change in NOM characteristics in the lake water was found to be more pronounced in different seasons than at different locations.

Abstract We investigated whether recent springtime water temperature increases in a shallow eutrophic lake affected bottom sediment temperature and fluxes of ammonia (NH4+) and phosphate (PO43−) from the sediment. We conducted a lake-wide survey of Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and analyzed the relationship between water temperature increases in spring and NH4+ and PO43− release fluxes. We also developed a numerical model to analyze how water temperature increase affects sediment temperature. Water temperature in May increased during 2010–2019 at a rate of 1.8–3.2 °C decade−1. The numerical simulation results showed that the water temperature increase was accompanied by a sediment temperature increase from a minimum of 18.3 °C in 2011 to a maximum of 21.6 °C in 2015. Despite the substantial difference in the observed sediment temperature (2.9 °C), no significant differences in NH4+ and PO43− fluxes in May between 2013/2014 and 2015 were found. These results suggest that both water and sediment temperatures are increasing in Lake Kasumigaura in spring, but it is unclear whether this warming has affected NH4+ and PO43− releases from the sediment. However, because a nonlinear response to sediment temperature was observed, future springtime warming may accelerate NH4+ and PO43− releases.

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.
