Chesapeake Bay nitrogen fluxes derived from a land‐estuarine ocean biogeochemical modeling system: Model description, evaluation, and nitrogen budgets
The Chesapeake Bay plays an important role in transforming riverine nutrients before they are exported to the adjacent continental shelf. Although the mean nitrogen budget of the Chesapeake Bay has been previously estimated from observations, uncertainties associated with interannually varying hydrological conditions remain. In this study, a land-estuarine-ocean biogeochemical modeling system i...
متن کامل23: Nitrogen Input-output Budgets for Forests in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
We analyzed three kinds of information to evaluate the potential of forests in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to retain the nitrogen in atmospheric deposition. Long-term (13:~) measurements of nitrogen in precipitation and stream discharge for one forested watershed in the Inner Coastal Plain showed consistently high nitrogen retention. Annual wet precipitation deposited an averagk of U.4 kg N/ha...
متن کاملGIS/EM4 - Modeling Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition and Transport in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: A GIS Approach
Abstract The atmospheric deposition of nitrate and ammonia species has been identified as a major factor in the decline of water quality in the Chesapeake Bay. Recent reports have indicated that atmospheric deposition may account for 25 to 80% of the total nitrogen load entering the Bay. However, many uncertainties exist regarding the accuracy of these estimates including the accuracy of the at...
متن کاملA Watershed-Scale Biogeochemical Loading Model for Nitrogen and Phosphorus
The New York State Water Resources Institutes (NYSWRI) FY2001 activity under the Federal Water Resources Research Act consisted largely of eleven research projects funded during FY1999, FY2000, and FY2001. The FY 2001 Annual Report reports on a FY2000 project and a FY 2001 project from national 104G competitions, one project from a supplemental funding source, one from the FY 1999 New York Stat...
متن کاملCarbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus budgets for a shallow subtropical coastal embayment (Moreton Bay, Australia)
Average annual carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus budgets were constructed for Moreton Bay. Primary production was the dominant source of carbon (by two orders of magnitude), N fixation was the dominant source of nitrogen, and point sources were the dominant source of phosphorus to the bay. About 41% of the nitrogen and 70% of the phosphorus entering Moreton Bay was exported to the ocean, and abo...
