Résumé

The significance of suspended sediment in the context of nutrient cycling and distribution in reservoirs is rarely reported in the scientific literature. What's more, suspended sediment (SS) have so far not been taken into account as a potential factor amplifying the degrading effects of nutrients on the functioning of reservoirs. In the experiment described here, the variability of SS concentrations and the content of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total organic carbon (TOC) and organic matter (OM) were investigated to determine the potential and determinants of SS in the process of migration of these substances at the water-sediment interface in retention reservoirs. The results showed that SS significantly manipulate the distribution of values of total phosphorus and total organic carbon contained in bottom sediment. It was confirmed that the circulation and distribution of selected nutrients in reservoirs is closely related to suspended sediment. Thus, it was proven that SS significantly affect the quality of deposited sediment. Finally, it was concluded that suspended sediment in the water of reservoirs forms a kind of micro-ecosystem, in which it plays a hitherto undiscovered role of a catenary (hub) consolidating a number of phenomena and processes occurring between individual components in the water-bottom sediment system.
