Hydrobiologia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A sampler with a relatively high resolution has been developed, which allows interstitial water to be obtained from lake sediments at well defined depths, without serious disturbance of sediment structure. Oxidation effects are excluded. Sampling time is in the order of a day. Installation requires little additional equipment. The instrument has been developed for use in shallow lakes.
