Decrease in macrofauna density increases the sediment phosphorus release and maintains the high phosphorus level of water column in Lake Taihu: A case study on Grandidierella taihuensis.

Internal phosphorus (P) loading can increase the P level in the water column and further sustains cyanobacterial blooms. This study focused on the role of benthic fauna bioturbation in affecting the sediment P release and the P level of water column in a eutrophic lake, Lake Taihu. The macrofauna de... View More
