In 1969/70, chemical and physical parameters, phytoplankton and recent sedimentation at different levels were investigated in the mesotrophic Lake of Lucerne (Horw Bay) and in the highly eutrophic Rotsee.The rates of sedimentation came to 1277.4 g dry matter/m2·year in Horw Bay and to 879.3 g dry matter/m2·year in the Rotsee. The chemical analysis of sediments included the following components: total organic substance (loss on ignition), organic C, clay minerals (HCl-insoluble fraction), Ca, Mg, P, N, Fe and Mn. The Rotsee is distinguished by higher nutrient concentrations, higher rates of sedimentation (exceptions: clay minerals, Fe, to a certain extent N and Mn) and by a greater biomass of phytoplankton.The distribution and succession of selected species and groups of phytoplankton are discussed, the velocity of sinking, the degradation, the growth dynamics and the measure of trophic state are calculated.For both lakes, a phosphorus and a nitrogen balance have been drawn up. The N:P ratio continually decreases running through the nutrient cycle from the input to the storing into the bottom sediments. The intrabiocoenotic phosphorus cycle in the epilimnion is very intensive and supplies approximately two thirds of the nutrient requirements for primary production in both the Horw Bay and the Rotsee.
