“…Studies on Lake Ontario, Lake Erio in North America, Lake Tanganyika in Africa, Lake Baykal in Russia and Biwa Lake in Japan and so on revealed that the δ 34 S values of lake water vary widely between -32‰ and 87‰, and most of them fall between 5‰ and 15‰ (Krouse and Grinenko, 1991;Trettin et al, 2007;Schiff et al, 2005;Ingri et al, 1997;Varekamp and Kreulen, 2000;Knöller et al, 2004;Torfstein et al, 2005;Hosono et al, 2007). Generally, the Aha Lake has low δ 34 S values, ranging between -9.8‰ and -5.9‰, with an average value of -8.1‰.…”

“…In the past decades, numerous studies have been carried out on acid mining lakes Strauch, 1999, 2002;Bozau and Strauch, 2002;Fauville et al, 2004;Pellicori et al, 2005;Trettin et al, 2007), marshes, rivers and lakes (Schiff et al, 2005;Jiang Yingkui et al, 2006, 2007Wang Zhongliang et al, 2007), surface and ground waters (Chu Xuelei, 2000;Gu Weizu, 2000;Lang Yunchao et al, 2008), and acid rain (Hong Yetang et al, 1994;Yao Wenhui et al, 2003). The major origins of dissolved SO 4 2-are: (1) oxidation of pyrite; (2) mineralization of organically-bound sulfur in soil; (3) rain water; and (4) agricultural and industrial drainages and other natural sources (Robinson and Bottrell, 1997).…”

The Aha Lake is a seasonal anoxic water system in the southwest of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, China. Seasonal variations in SO 4 2-concentrations and their isotopic compositions in lake water as well as in the tributaries were investigated in this study. The results showed that sulfate concentrations in river water range from 0.94 to 6.52 mmol/L and their δ 34 S values range from -14.9‰ and 0.9‰, while lake water has sulfate concentrations ranging from 1.91 to 2.79 mmol/L, and δ 34 S values from -9.8‰ to -5.9‰. It is suggested that coal mining drainage is the major source of SO 4 2-in the Aha Lake. Rainfall, sewage discharge, sulfide oxidation and gypsum dissolution have made only limited contributions. Different depth-dependent distributions of dissolved SO 4 2-and δ 34 S were developed for both DB and LJK in summer and winter. Due to water overturn, δ 34 S values display homogenous vertical distributions in winter and spring. While in summer and autumn, significant positive shifts of δ 34 S were clearly observed in epilimnion and bottom strata as a result of water stratification. High δ 34 S values in epilimnion may result from the retention of rainwater during water stratification. Dissimilatory sulfate reduction by bacteria was thought to be responsible for the increase of δ 34 S value in hypolimnion.

Sulfur budgets and seasonal progression of sulfur cycling processes were investigated in Lake Fukami-ike, a small monomictic lake in Japan. The sulfur isotopic mass balance shows that the main sulfur source is groundwater inflow (d 34 S 5 215.0%). The sulfate influx is approximately 20% reduced by microbial sulfate reduction and deposited as sulfide (d 34 S 5 222.2%; 34 kmol yr 21 ); the remaining exits from the outflow channel (d 34 S 5 212.6%). In the water column, microbiological analyses reveal that green sulfur bacteria dominate more than 90% of the population in the anoxic layer. A monthly decrease in sulfate concentration at each depth indicates that sulfate reduction proceeds within the water column as a first-order reaction because of low sulfate concentration (, 600 mmol L 21 ). The isotopic fractionation factor of sulfate reduction is estimated to be 0.980 by the isotopic and concentration data of sulfate and sulfide from April to August. Numerical simulation indicates that the relative contribution of phototrophic sulfide oxidation is over 50 times slower than sulfate reduction from April to August but over two times higher from October to November because of lower sulfate conditions (, 300 mmol L 21 ). Sulfate concentration is the factor for controlling the relative contribution of sulfate reduction and phototrophic sulfide oxidation in monomictic lakes, which contrasts with that observed in permanently stratified lakes.
