This study takes pond sediments as the object to study its effect on denitrification of overlying water and microbial community. In the experiment, baking soda (NaHCO3) was used to regulate the alkalinity of the water. The initial alkalinity of the overlying water (calculated as CaCO3) was 143.3 ± 7.10 mg/L in group A, 275.2 ± 22.01 mg/L in group B, 385.1 ± 28.01 mg/L in group C and 466.5 ± 61.50 mg/L in group D. The results showed that the rate of denitrification of overlying water by sediments was 93.31% in Group A, 93.54% in Group B, 94.88% in Group C and 93.53% in Group D. There was no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). Addition of alkalinity had no significant effect on the nitrogen removal effect of sediments (P>0.05). High-throughput results showed that Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria were the main dominant bacteria at the phylum level. The dominant genuses Thiobacillus and Thioalkalispira were both denitrifying bacteria mainly based on sulfur autotrophic denitrification. Studies have shown that pond sediments have an obvious denitrifying effect on overlying water, and there is no significant difference in alkalinity regulation.
