Sulfate-Induced Eutrophication and Phytotoxicity in Freshwater Wetlands
Abstract
In recent decades, sulfate concentrations in many European freshwater wetlands have increased by 10-fold or more, due mainly to the use of sulfate-polluted river water to compensate for water shortage in these areas. To test the effect of sulfate enrichment, a mesocosm experiment was set up, using waterlogged soil cores, intact with vegetation, from a mesotrophic fen meadow. During sulfate addition at environmentally relevant levels (0, 2, and 4 mmol L - 1 ), phosphate concentration and alkalinity of the pore water rapidly rose due to increased sulfate reduction rates. Free sulfide accumulated to levels toxic to several wetland plant species and biomass regrowth after harvesting was significantly lower on treated soils, especially for Carex species. Eventually, the concentrations of ammonium, phosphate, and potassium increased strongly in the treated soils due to reduced uptake by plants and extra mineralization. Sulfate availability was rate limiting, until the supply of readily decomposable organic matter became limited. It is argued that the significance of the observed changes in free sulfide concentrations and in the rate of nutrient mobilization should be recognized, and that these effects can be as important as direct eutrophication caused by the import of nutrients. The reported changes may severely influence the plant species composition of freshwater wetlands.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
