Abstract

Abstract Analysis of flux measurements by dialysis pore water sampling and benthic flux chambers in the eutrophic Lake Sempach, Switzerland, demonstrated that the zone with the main microbial activity in the sediments is limited to the top few millimeters. A multi-box steady-state model was developed to quantify the physical, chemical and microbial processes occurring in the near surface sediment. The model was used to gain new insights into the relative importance of the various processes.
