Lake Phosphorus and Sediment Data from Groundwater Discharge Study

Experimental and calculated data from a study on particulate phosphorus mobilization via lacustrine groundwater discharge. The dataset includes physical calculations, spring monitoring results, elemental compositions, and phosphorus speciation for source sediments and release particles. Author Wenkai Qiu published the 1.1 MB dataset on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, with a last update timestamp of 2026-04-27.

Use Cases

• Modeling phosphorus input via lacustrine groundwater discharge based on spring TP input calculations.
• Analyzing sediment composition and particle release based on elemental and rare earth element data.
• Studying phosphorus speciation and mobility in lake systems based on sequential extraction results.
• Correlating water chemistry with sediment properties based on major ion, DOC, and TN compositions.

Strengths

• Dataset includes multiple analytical measurements such as ICP-MS elemental compositions and sequential phosphorus extractions.
• Covers diverse sample types including source sediments, release particles, surface water, spring water, and groundwater.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
