Mean values ± SD of organic carbon, sulfates and hydrogen sulfide and acid-soluble sulfides concentrations in the bottom sediment of Lake Gulbinas in August. Asterisks indicate significant differences in each chemical parameter between two study periods, urban and transitional (Tukey HSD test, p ≤ 0.05).
