Evaluation of Phosphorus Release from Lake Sediments Using Passive Sampling and Phosphate Oxygen Isotope Analysis
In eutrophic lakes, the persistent high phosphorus concentration in lake water poses a significant problem. This study employs passive sampling techniques and phosphorus oxygen isotope analysis to identify the sources supplying phosphorus to the lake water. This approach will also reveal contributions from lake sediments, which have not been evaluated previously. This research is expected to contribute to the assessment and conservation of lake water environments.
