abstract = {We have investigated the transfer of oxygen isotope signals
of diatomaccous silica (delta P-18(diatom)) from the
epilimnion (0-7 m) through the hypolimnion to the lake
bottom (similar to 20 m) in freshwater Lake Holzmaar,
Germany. Sediment-traps were deployed in 2001 at depths of 7
and 16 m to harvest fresh diatoms every 28 days. The 7 m
trap collected diatoms from the epilimnion being the main
zone of primary production, while the 16 m trap collected
material already settled through the hypolimnion. Also a
bottom sediment sample was taken containing diatom frustules
from approximately the last 25 years. The delta O-18(diatom)
values of the 7 m trap varied from 29.4 parts per thousand
in spring/ autumn to 26.2 parts per thousand in summer
according to the temperature dependence of oxygen isotope
fractionation and represent the initial isotope signal in
this study. Remarkably, despite the short settling distance
delta(18)Odimom values of the 7 and the 16 m trap were
identical only during spring and autumn seasons while from
April to September delta O-18(diatom) values of the 16 m
trap were roughly similar to 1 parts per thousand enriched
in O-18 compared to those of the 7 m trap. Isotopic exchange
with the isotopically lighter water of the hypolimnion would
shift the delta O-18(diatom) value to lower values during
settling from 7 to 16 m excluding this process as a cause
for the deviation. Dissolution of opal during settling with
intact organic coatings of the diatom cells and near neutral
pH of the water should only cause a minor enrichment of the
16 m values. Nevertheless, opal from the bottom sediment was
found to be $2.5\%.$ enriched in O-18 compared to the
weighted average of the opal from the 7 m trap. Thus,
resuspension of bottom material must have contributed to the
intermediate delta O-18(diatom) signal of the 16 m trap
during summer. Dissolution experiments allowed further
investigation of the cause for the remarkably enriched delta
O-18(diatom), value of the bottom sediment. Experiments with
different fresh diatomaceous materials show an increase of
opaline O-18 at high pH values which is remarkably reduced
when organic coatings of the cells still exist or at near
neutral pH. In contrast, high-pH conditions do not affect
the delta O-18(diatom) values of sub-fossil and even fossil
opal. IR analyses show that the O-18 enrichment of the
sedimentary silica is associated with a decrease in Si-OH
groups and the formation of Si-O-Si linkages. This indicates
a silica dehydroxylation process as cause for the isotopic
enrichment of the bottom sediment. Silica dissolution and
dehydroxylation clearly induce a maturation process of the
diatom oxygen isotope signal presumably following an
exponential behaviour with a rapid initial phase of signal
alteration. The dynamics of this process is of particular
importance for the quantitative interpretation of
sedimentary delta O-18(diatom) values in terms of
palaeothermometry. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights
