TLDR
In this paper, the most important processes influencing the generation and transport of pore-water P from, to and within the sediment are summarized, in combination with what little information is available on various P species in the pore water.
Abstract
Interstitial (pore) water is important for phosphorus dynamics in limnic ecosystems. This review summarizes the most important processes influencing the generation and transport of pore-water P from, to and within the sediment. Sampling methodology is discussed thoroughly in combination with what little information is available on various P species in the pore water.

Phosphorus release from resuspended sediment in the shallow and wind-exposed Lake Arresø, Denmark

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of wind-induced sediment resuspension on internal phosphorus loading was investigated by laboratory experiments studying P-release from the undisturbed sediment surface and by experiments simulating ressuspension events.

Sulfate-Induced Eutrophication and Phytotoxicity in Freshwater Wetlands

TL;DR: In this article, a mesocosm experiment was set up, using waterlogged soil cores, intact with vegetation, from a mesotrophic fen meadow, to test the effect of sulfate enrichment, and the results showed that free sulfide accumulated to levels toxic to several wetland plant species and biomass regrowth after harvesting was significantly lower on treated soils, especially for Carex species.

Terrestrial organic matter and light penetration: Effects on bacterial and primary production in lakes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated productivity at the basal trophic level in 15 unproductive lakes in a gradient ranging from clear-water to brown-water (humic) lakes in northern Sweden.

The relationship between fine sediment and macrophytes in rivers

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the available evidence base on the impact of fine sediment on macrophytes is presented, with a focus on the relationship between macrophyte communities and fine sediment.

Mechanisms for internal loading of phosphorus in lakes

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of phosphorus forms in sediments have been investigated since the 1950s and the vertical profiles of sediment phosphorus content, expressed on dry weight basis, show an increasing total content towards the sediment surface.

Diffusion of ions in sea water and in deep-sea sediments

TL;DR: The tracer diffusion coefficients of ions in deep-sea sediments, Dj,sed., can be related to Dj∗ by as mentioned in this paper, where θ is the tortuosity of the bulk sediment and a constant close to one.

Principles of Lake Sedimentology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a sampling method for detecting sedimentation in lakes and showed that it is possible to determine the type of sediment present in a lake and the size of the lake.

Diffusive boundary layers and the oxygen uptake of sediments and detritus1

TL;DR: In this article, the thickness of diffusive boundary layers and their role for the oxygen uptake of sediments and detritus were studied by the use of microelectrodes.

An in situ sampler for close interval pore water studies1

TL;DR: A sampler for defining compositional changes over distances on the order of 1 cm in aqueous systems operates by equilibration of water contained by a dialysis membrane with the surrounding water.
