Abstract
The distribution of nutrients in sediments is the result of multiple factors, including hydrological conditions and vegetation regulation, and in wetlands with complex hydrological conditions, this distribution is uncertain. In this study, the spatial distribution patterns of nitrogen and phosphorus in sediments were studied in the riverside and lakeside wetlands of Dongting Lake, a typical river-connected lake. The results showed that the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the surface sediments were higher than those in the su...
