Vertical transport of heavy metals by settling particles in Lake Zurich

Open access
Sigg, Laura, Sturm, Michael, Kistler, David·1987·Limnology and Oceanography

Abstract

Transport into sediments of the trace elements Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Sr by settling particles was investigated in Lake Zurich; the concentrations of these elements in settling particles collected in sediment traps and in the water column were determined at different times of year. Correlations of trace element concentrations with the various main components of the settling particles (biological material, calcium carbonate, manganese and iron oxides, silicate minerals) and examination of seasonal variations both of these concentrations in particles and of particle fluxes to the sediments show that biological material is an important carrier phase (especially for Cu and Zn). Iron and manganese oxides also contribute to trace element transport; calcium carbonate is inefficient as a carrier material.

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.
