Erratum Addressing total phosphorus impairments with water quality trading1

Near-field loading dynamics of total phosphorus and short-term water quality var..... (DOI: 10.1039/b517972f)

Aquatic total phosphorus (Tot-P) is measured at fish-cages in Lake Huron for environmental regulatory compliance. An improved understanding of how Tot-P is manifested in the near-field ( 30 m) water column relative to reference sites within the same water body, current movement and farm structures is required to help interpret sample results and refine monitoring protocols where necessary. The ...

Water quality improvement through bioretention media: nitrogen and phosphorus removal.

High nutrient inputs and eutrophication continue to be one of the highest priority water quality problems. Bioretention is a low-impact development technology that has been advocated for use in urban and other developed areas. This work provides an in-depth analysis on removal of nutrients from a synthetic stormwater runoff by bioretention. Results have indicated good removal of phosphorus (70 ...

Agricultural phosphorus, water quality, and poultry production: are they compatible?

With the concentration of poultry production and increase in operation size in several regions of the U.S., more manure is applied to agricultural land. This application of manure has resulted in more P being added than crops require, an accumulation in soil P, and increased potential for P loss in surface runoff. This situation has been exacerbated by manure management being N-based. Increased...

Understanding Soil Phosphorus An Overview of Phosphorus, Water Quality, and Agricultural Management Practices

Relating soil phosphorus to dissolved phosphorus in runoff: a single extraction coefficient for water quality modeling.

Phosphorus transport from agricultural soils contributes to eutrophication of fresh waters. Computer modeling can help identify agricultural areas with high potential P transport. Most models use a constant extraction coefficient (i.e., the slope of the linear regression between filterable reactive phosphorus [FRP] in runoff and soil P) to predict dissolved P release from soil to runoff, yet it...
