摘要：
In order to propose pertinent suggestions regarding eutrophication control for Lake Hongze, we used monthly monitoring data from 2011 to 2020 to elucidate the spatiotemporal changing characteristics of eutrophic status and the relevant driving factors. As the main river entering Lake Hongze, River Huaihe experienced an increase in permanganate index and a decrease in TN in the last 10 years. Meanwhile, Secchi depth, TP, and permanganate index increased, whereas TN and Chl-a concentration decreased significantly in Lake Hongze. As a result, the eutrophic status TLI index of Lake Hongze declined over the past 10 years. The change trend of TLI in Lake Hongze differed spatially. As the main water passage of River Huaihe, the algal biomass was lower in the eastern region than that in the other two lake regions, regardless of the relatively high nutrient concentration, due to the short water retention time. Furthermore, the water quality of River Huaihe improved; thus, the TLI index decreased significantly in the eastern lake region. The northern region had a high coverage of aquatic vegetation, which not only reduced the concentration of water nutrients but also provided a habitat for zooplankton and fish, effectively inhibiting algal growth. Thus, the TLI index was lowest among the three lake areas and showed a downward trend over the last 10 years. In the western region, the algal biomass was the highest due to the intensification of phosphorus release from sediment in summer. Thus, the TLI index was the highest and had not improved in the past 10 years. There were also significant seasonal differences in the TLI of Lake Hongze, which was highest in summer, due to the relatively high algal biomass. Moreover, the algal biomass in summer was mainly affected by the concentration of nitrate. According to the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of eutrophic status and the impacting factors in Lake Hongze, corresponding measures for eutrophication control should be taken for different seasons and lake areas. © 2022, Science Press.
