Abstract: The development of a vertically-segmented, mechanistic mass balance model (Sed2K) for particulate organic matter (POM) diagenesis in lake sediments is described. The model is parsimonious in its requirements for input data ...

Abstract: Diagenesis of particulate organic matter in sediments can have important effects on the dissolved oxygen (DO) resources of lakes and delay potential benefits from reductions in phosphorus (P) loading. A sediment diagenesis ...
