Exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced in the photic zone and surface sediments sequester calcium. Below the sediment surface, heterotrophic bacteria degrade EPS, releasing calcium resulting in carbonate precipitation. This process, which continues for millennia deep in the core, is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Enhanced carbonate production model for temperate stratified lakes
Abstract From spring 2022 to late summer 2024, a study of Lake Ilay's water column and sediment cores analyzed key environmental parameters. Conductivity, temperature, and chlorophyll‐a were measured at 2 m, while pH, conductivity, temperature, calcium (Ca2+), and alkalinity were monitored within the top 20 m.
