摘要

One of the finest surviving marshes on the Great Lakes is Point Pelee National Park. Excessive loadings of nutrients resulted in hyper-eutrophic conditions in some of the open-water ponds in the marsh. A multi-disciplinary study was initiated to identify sources of nutrients to the marsh. The septic system in the park was one of potential sources considered, as it has been documented that nutrients from septic systems can be transported considerable distances by contaminated groundwater, and there is a close link between groundwater and wetlands. Spatial and stratigraphic differences in sediment P distribution were investigated and related to distribution of a sewage specific molecular marker, coprostanol, to assess the potential sewage-derived nutrient inputs to the marsh. Elevated concentrations of phosphorus and coprostanol were observed in nearshore sediments, suggesting that the nearshore area was impacted by sewage-derived input. The ratios of terrigenous to aquatic n-alkanes (TAR_(HC)), which were used to discern the sources of the sedimentary organic matter suggest that the observed spatial differences in sediment P concentrations could not be attributed to different character of marsh organic matter. Rather, as suggested by the coprostanol distribution, the elevated phosphorus concentrations in the nearshore sediments may be attributed to sewage-derived input.
