Methane was collected from the surficial sedimentary layer (0 to about 20 cm) in 45 fresh water lakes in Poland. Sampling was also carried out at various depths of the over lying water column (0.15 to 12 m) between noon and early after noon, on a seasonal basis, between 1992 and 1996. A positive correlation between the depth of the lake water, the δ¹³ C (CH₄) value (from ca. -l.4 to -2.3% per l m depth) and the wider δ¹³ C (CH₄) variation over the thermocline are probably due to: the time of sinking of organic particles resulting in more in tense acetate fermentation in shallower portions of the lake; the temperature variation; differences in the precursors of methane, the diffusion effect, and an increase of bioavailable DIC (dissolved inorganic carbon) at greater depths. Non-seasonal variation of isotope ratios in methane and the depth-isotope ratio correlation show that the lake system is in dynamic equilibrium on a scale of hours and days. Therefore, earlier models of methanogenesis relating and the atmospheric methane isotopic budget, proposed by other authors and based on sampling of methane from sediments, need to be revised. More over, δ¹³ C (CH₄) values higher during seasonal over turn (mixing of benthic and surface waters) than during stagnation, have been observed. This is probably due to the fact that during over turn periods some organic compounds (methane precursors) and methane in the surficial part of sediments, are oxidized with a resalting kinetic isotope effect. It is proposed that oxidation of methane and other organic compounds during seasonal over turn may be responsible for post-depositional lamination observed as pale (autumn over turn) and dark (summer organic-rich unoxic stagnation) millimetres-thick layers in fresh water lake sediments.
