The influence of lake morphometry on sediment focusing

Open access

Abstract

Sediment focusing is a process whereby water turbulence moves sedimented material from shallower to deeper zones of a lake. Sediment focusing occurs in lakes in both the erosional (coarse‐grained sediments) and the transportational zone with the latter characterized by discontinuous sedimentation and resuspension. The zone of accumulation is defined as the zone where sedimentation is final (i.e. no resuspension) and where there is no further sediment focusing. A geochemical tracer (Pb) was used to trace sediment focusing patterns in 12 lakes of different morphometries. The area occupied by the zone of accumulation is predicted from the mean basin slope (α'p) with 86% of the variance explained. Only in large, exposed lakes in which turbulence from waves is more severe are the resulting sediment distributions more erratic. This study is the first to provide a general model of sediment focusing patterns among lakes.

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.
