Research Abstract |
The objective of this study is to clarify phosphorus cycle in shallow, eutrophic Lake Kasumigaura, Japan. We monitored suspended particles and sediment which could widely vary spatially and temporally due to physical factors, such as sediment resuspension and sedimentation. As a new analytical method to analyze phosphorus forms in suspended particles and sediment, a 31P- nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used. This application makes possible to monitor how phosphorus forms vary in lake water and sediment. We found that suspended particles include quite different phosphorus compounds from sediment
