title: [Exchange Fluxes and Coupling Relationship of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon and Dissolved Organic Carbon Across the Water-Sediment Interface in Lakes].
abstract: In this work, the exchange fluxes and coupling relationship of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were investigated across the water-sediment interface in Lake Wuliangsuhai and Daihai by employing columnar simulation method. The results showed that the sediments in non-Phragmitescommunis area from Lake Wuliangsuhai functioned as the sources of DIC and DOC for overlying water, whereas the sediments from Lake Daihai as the sinks during the period of summer (90 days). In the experimental period, the average exchange rates of DIC and DOC were 71.07 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) and 185.09 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) in non-Phragmitescommunis area from Lake Wuliangsuhai, respectively; while in Lake Daihai, they were 155.75 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) and -1478.08 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) in shoal water zone, and -486.53 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) and -1274.02 mmol x (m2 x d)(-1) in deep water zone, respectively. The coupling effects between DIC and DOC were governed by hydrobios, microbial uptake, abiotic and microbiological degradation in Lake Wuliangsuhai and in shoal water zone of Lake Daihai; while they were closely related to the coprecipitation process of CaCO3 and the fraction distribution of inorganic carbon in sediments in deep water zone of Lake Daihai. In summary, the sink or source functions of sediments could be considered as the results of synthetic action of lake types, offshore distance, geohydrochemistry and the fraction distribution of inorganic carbon.
