Abstract
Variations in nutrient content and dissolved oxygen concentrations in two shallow winterkill pothole lakes are described. The chemical systems of these lakes are displaced from a steady state during anoxic conditions under ice cover in winter or after a sudden collapse of algal blooms and their bacterial decomposition in summer. Due to their reductive character and high content of soluble nutrients, lake sediments play an important role in formation of water quality of these lakes. In contact with overlying water when upwelled by wind action or artificial neration, they cause a significant depletion of dissolved oxygen and a release of ammonia into water column.
