Phosphorus stored in lake sediments is an inner nutrient source and can be released into overlying water to exacerbate algal blooms. A simulated microcosm of Dianchi Lake was built to investigate phosphorus release from sediments to overlying water and its effect on the growth ofMicrocystis aeruginosa. The sediments of Dianchi Lake had a total phosphorus (TP) content of 1.7–1.8 mg g−1with Ca bound phosphorus (Ca-P, 50–54 %) and organic phosphorus (Org-P, 28–32 %) as the main fractions. The sediments released 8 % of TP into the overlying water with Fe/Al bound phosphorus (Fe/Al-P, 26 %) and Org-P (65 %) being the main fractions released. The phosphorus concentration of the overlying water increased from 0.14–0.16 to 0.28–0.33 mg L−1. The biomass density ofM. aeruginosawas positively correlated (R2= 0.825) with the concentration of orthophosphate, which was the predominant bioavailable phosphorus fraction for algal growth. Org-P can be partly utilized byM. aeruginosabut will not cause a bloom. A good understanding of the geochemical cycles of phosphorus is needed for regulating phosphorus release from sediments and thereby reducing the risk of cyanobacterial blooms.
