This study focused on the spatial distribution and ecological risks of nickel in the sediments of Jianhu Lake in China, and the influence of pH and TOC on nickel concentrations. The results indicated moderate nickel pollution and risk levels in most surface sediments, while moderate nickel pollution and high risk levels were observed in most sediment cores. Additionally, pH and TOC were found to have a significant impact on the distribution and concentration of nickel in the lake sediments.
Nickel (Ni) in small plateau lake sediments plays an important role in influencing the quality of lake ecosystems with a high degree of endemism and toxicity. This paper focuses on the spatial distribution and ecological risks of nickel in the sediments of Jianhu Lake, a small plateau lake in China, and the influence of pH and total organic carbon (TOC) on nickel concentrations. The results showed that average total nickel concentrations were 138.99 +/- 57.57 mg/kg (n = 38) and 184.31 +/- 92.12 mg/kg (n = 60) in surface sediments (0-10 cm top layer) and sediment cores (0-75 cm depth), respectively, and that the residual fraction was the main form of nickel. Simultaneously, through a semivariogram model, strong spatial dependence among pH, TOC, and the oxidizable fraction was revealed, whereas total nickel, exchangeable and the weak acid soluble fraction, reducible fraction, and residual fraction showed moderate spatial dependence. The vertical distribution revealed that nickel accumulated mainly in the bottom 5 cm (70-75 cm) of the sediment layer and that the pH was higher there, whereas TOC was concentrated mainly in the top 5 cm of sediment. Using geoaccumulation and a potential ecological risk index, moderate nickel pollution and moderate risk levels were found in most surface sediments, but moderate nickel pollution and high risk levels were observed in most sediment cores. In addition, pH and TOC were found to have a strong effect on the distribution and concentration of nickel and its fractions in the small plateau lake. In summary, nickel posed a certain degree of pollution and ecological risk, which deserves attention in the sediments of small plateau lakes.
