Redistribution of sediments in three Swedish lakes
(1990) In Hydrobiologia 192. p.167-181- Abstract
- Sedimentation and redistribution of fine sediments in three Swedish lakes of different character have been investigated using settling sediment traps. The bottom shear stress from wind generated waves are calculated and the extension of erodable bottom area is related to wind conditions. Wave induced erosion and deposition during and after cessation of storms in different parts of a lake are discussed theoretically. It is shown that a single one year storm may redistribute more bottom material than the accumulated resuspension caused by frequent but smaller wind events. The settling sediment trap deposition and the concentration of suspended solids are related to the extension of erodable bottom area of particular storms. It is found that... (More)

The settling sediment trap deposition and the concentration of suspended solids are related to the extension of erodable bottom area of particular storms. It is found that in lakes where there are relatively large areas of erosion bottoms, resuspended material from the part of the lake most susceptible to strong winds of large fetch constitutes a major part of the settled material on deep bottoms.
