Effect of hypolimnetic discharge on the faster deprivation of phosphorus from lake sediment (Lake Jabel, north‐east Germany)
After the reduction in external phosphorus‐load (P‐load), in‐lake measures became practicable for eutrophic Lake Jabel. The benthic release of phosphorus (P) was efficiently suppressed by a significant nitrate supply via its main tributary. The in‐situ stimulation of P‐release as a result of the temporary decrease in this nitrate load, and the simultaneous P‐removal by deep‐water siphoning and external P‐elimination was primarily designed for the faster deprivation of P from lake sediment. This new strategy was aimed at exhausting the ‘P‐surplus’, that is, the mobile redox‐sensitive iron‐bound P‐portions of the uppermost sediment layers, where a re‐supply from deeper layers is needed within the stratification period of 2 consecutive years of operation of the P‐elimination system. By studying early benthic P‐diagenesis it remains to be demonstrated whether this procedure can contribute to a re‐availability of P‐binding sites to guarantee the long‐term effect of the measure.
