| Abstract: | Sediments are potentially the internal source that supply nutrients to water in lentic to semi-lentic ecosystems. The understanding of factors that cause temporal changes in sediment properties is critical for the internal source management. This study investigated the spatial variations and temporal changes in sediment properties in relation to their controlling factors in water bodies of the Ishikari River, Northern Japan. Sediment data in 29 water bodies were measured twice (around 2005 and 2019) to study the temporal changes in sediment properties, and were compared using Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs). The controlling factors of sediment properties including catchment and morphometry were examined by partial least square (PLS) regression. Our results showed that the temporal change in sediment properties over decades was largely driven by morphometry, while land use in the catchment played a relatively minor role in those changes. The rate of change in organic matter (OM) differed among water bodies depending on their morphometry. The small and shallow water bodies provided suitable habitat for macrophytes that led to OM deposits, resulting to an increase in OM and OM to total nitrogen (TN) ratio over time. The consequences of these changes are important for internal source management and biodiversity conservation. |
