Phosphorus Availability and Growth of Benthic Primary Producers in Littoral Lake Sediments: Are Differences Linked to Induced Bank Filtration?

Abstract: Submerged macrophytes and periphyton are benthic primary producers that play an important role for several ecosystem functions of lakes. Their growth often depends on the availability of phosphorus (P) in sediments and overlying water. This P availability is assumed to potentially be affected by induced bank filtration (IBF), a cost-effective method for drinking water production. In this study, we tested whether littoral sediments sampled at sites with high and low influence of IBF in a temperate eutrophic lak… Show more

“…Water depth is one of the strongest gradients in aquatic systems, with plant species spanning from tolerating seasonally saturated soils to completing their entire life cycles underwater [35]. Additionally, depth gradients capture other important gradients such as nutrient availability [38], sediment resuspension, and hydraulic forces [39]. Light is a critical determinant of all plant growth that is particularly constraining in aquatic environments, where photosynthetically active radiation rapidly decays with water depth and transparency [35,40].…”
