Özet

This study was conducted between July 2004 and June 2005 to determine the seasonal and spatial patterns of phosphorus in the littoral sediment of Lake Mogan, and its potential release into the lake water. Total phosphorus and phosphorus fractions in the sediment and overlying water samples were taken mainly from a selected station in the lake, and additionally, some chemical and physical parameters were measured. The amount of released phosphorus was estimated using the total filterable orthophosphate concentrations related to the sediment pore as well as overlying waters with the water content of the sediment, and the diffusion coefficient depending on the temperature.
