Internal nitrogen (N) loading of lakes is commonly controlled by sediment dredging, although its comprehensive effect on internal N loading remains unclear. Herein, we examined the long-term effects of sediment dredging on internal N loading from a new perspective on the N budget at the sediment-water interface (SWI) through a simulation of field dredging performed by incubating intact sediment cores from a shallow eutrophic lake (Lake Taihu). We further evaluated the role of settling particles (SP) in the recovery of N cycle processes after dredging and its potential impact on the N budget. Our results demonstrated that dredging could help reduce organic matter and total N in sediments; improve the redox environment of the SWI; slow down N mineralization, N fixation, denitrification, and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox); and alter the N budget at the SWI and the contribution of various N cycle processes. However, the input of SP enriched in fresh organic matter and N could accelerate the recovery of N cycle processes at the SWI, reducing the variation in the N budget and the contribution of each N cycle process caused by dredging. Dredging significantly reduced the N flux at the SWI, which was evident from the reduction of inorganic N release flux and N removal through denitrification and anammox. Therefore, sediment dredging has its advantages and disadvantages in managing internal N loading in lakes. To maintain a long-term control on the release of internal N through sediment dredging, measures should be taken based on the in-lake and watershed to inhibit the inflow and settlement of particulate matter.
