A typical grass-type lake, Caohai, Guizhou, was used as the study object. The morphology and release flux of phosphorus in Caohai sediment were analyzed by the chemical continuous extraction method and pore water diffusion model. The results showed that the TP content of Caohai sediment was 559.75 mg/kg, much lower than that of other lakes on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau; the release flux was -0.0009-0.0518 mg/(m2-d); the phosphorus form content was Res-P>NaOH-NRP>NaOH-SRP>BD-P>HCl-P>NH4Cl-P in descending order. However, due to the high proportion of organic phosphorus in the Caohai, the ecological risk of its potential release was high. In this study, the author found that the sediment phosphorus content and release flux of grass-type lakes, represented by Guizhou Caohai, were lower than those of algal-type lakes, which had important implications for the conservation management of grass-type lakes.
