[Synergistic effect of physical and Chironomus plumosus combined disturbance on regeneration and transformation of internal phosphorus].

To explain the synergistic effect of physical and Chironomus plumosus combined disturbance on the regeneration and transformation of internal phosphorus, laboratory static incubation experiments were carried out with the sediments and overlying water from a eutrophic river in Suzhou. Rhizon samplers were used to acquire the pore water. In the experiment, we compared the variation of different phosphorus forms in the overlying water, the pore water and sediments under the Chironomus plumosus disturbance and the combined disturbance. The results indicated that the amount of different forms of phosphorus (TP, PP, DTP, DIP) in the overlying water under combined disturbance was higher than that under Chironomus plumosus combination disturbance. It was attributed to the significant increase of the microbial activity in the sediments. Compared with Chironomus plumosus disturbance, the amount of DIP and ferrous decreased with the greater magnitude and range. It was attributed to the superposition effect of the physical and benthos disturbance on the penetration depth of the dissolved oxygen. In addition, the amount of NH4C1-P decreased remarkably in the 0-2 cm sediment while Fe/Al-P increased obviously. Furthermore, the variation magnitude of NH4Cl-P and Fe/Al-P was higher under combined disturbance than that under Chironomus plumosus disturbance, which suggested the superposition effect of the physical and benthos disturbance on the regeneration and migration of phosphorus.
