Summer Methane Fluxes and Fall Oxygen Resources of Onondaga Lake
Open accessAbstract
The sediment release and cycling of CH4 in SO2− 4 – rich hypereutrophic Onondaga Lake, New York, was assessed for the summer/fall interval of 1989 through a program of collection and analysis of ebullitive gas and monitoring of the lake's water column for dissolved CH4. Approximately 1×107 mol of CH4 were released from the lake's sediments, at an average rate of 16 mmol/m2/d, from mid-June to mid-September; two-thirds was dissolved, one-third was in the gas phase. About 75% of the ebullitive release of CH4, or 25% of the total release, was lost from the lake to the atmosphere. Strong temporal variations in ebullitive flux were observed. Oxidation of entrained hypolimnetic accumulations of CH4 contributed importantly to the major depletion of O2 and highly undersaturated conditions observed for the lake's upper layers during the fall mixing period. This water quality problem is a manifestation of the cultural eutrophication of the lake.

The hypereutrophic condition of Onondaga Lake caused subsequent accumulation of reduced byproducts of anaerobic metabolism, including sulfide and methane.

The vertical pattern of progressive increases with depth is recurring for the byproducts of the various metabolic pathways, reflecting localization of decomposition processes within the sediments or at the sediment-water interface in combination with limited mixing within the hypolimnion.
“This vertical pattern is recurring for the byproducts of the various metabolic pathways (Fig. 4b-e), reflecting the localization of these decomposition processes within the sediments (or at the sediment-water interface) in combination with limited mixing within the hypolimnion (Effler et al. 1988, Addess and Effler 1996).”

By the onset of fall turnover, CH4 and ∑S 2- were eliminated from the water column as a result of rapid oxidation.
“By the onset of fall turnover, CH 4 and ∑S 2were eliminated from the water column as a result of the rapid oxidation of these constituents (Effler et al. 1988, Addess and Effler 1996, Gelda and Auer 1996).”

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.
