摘要

Summer cyanobacterial blooms caused an elevation in pH (9 to ~10.5) that lasted for weeks in the shallow and tidal-fresh region of the Sassafras River, a tributary of Chesapeake Bay (USA). Elevated pH promoted desorption of sedimentary inorganic phosphorus and facilitated conversion of ammonium (NH _4 ~+) to ammonia (NH _3). In this study, we investigated pH effects on exchangeable NH _4 ~+ desorption, pore water diffusion and the flux rates of NH _4 ~+, soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and nitrate (NO _3 ~(-4+) through NH -3 formation from both pore water and adsorbed NH 4 + pools. Progressive penetration of high pH from the overlying water into sediment promoted the mobility of SRP and the release of total ammonium (NH _4 ~+ and NH _3) into the pore water. At elevated pH levels, high sediment-water effluxes of SRP and total ammonium were associated with reduction of nitrification, denitrification and oxygen consumption rates. Alkaline pH and the toxicity of NH _3 may inhibit nitrification in the thin aerobic zone, simultaneously constraining coupled nitrification-denitrification with limited NO _3 ~- supply and high pH penetration into the anaerobic zone. Geochemical feedbacks to pH elevation, such as enhancement of dissolved nutrient effluxes and reduction in N _2 loss via denitrification, may enhance the persistence of cyanobacterial blooms in shallow water ecosystems.
