Erratum to: Effectiveness of Grass Filters in Reducing Phosphorus and Sediment Runoff

Grass Barrier and Vegetative Filter Strip Effectiveness in Reducing Runoff, Sediment, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Loss

soil and organic matter (Melville and Morgan, 2001), promote degradation of sediment-bound chemicals Addition of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) barriers to vegetative (Groffman et al., 1991), and enhance wildlife habitat filter strips (FS) shows potential as conservation practice. This study evaluates the comparative effectiveness of three conservation prac(Schultz et al., 1995). This approach ...

Prediction of runoff and sediment from agricultural watersheds by a mathematical model. 3 sediment -bound and soluble phosphorus loadings.

Reducing phosphorus runoff and improving poultry production with alum.

This is a review paper on the effects of aluminum sulfate (alum) on ammonia volatilization and P runoff from poultry litter. Initially, laboratory studies were conducted that showed P solubility could be reduced in poultry litter with Al, Ca, and Fe amendments, indicating that these amendments may reduce P runoff. These results were confirmed in small plot studies in which alum applications to ...

Calibration of the APEX Model to Simulate Management Practice Effects on Runoff, Sediment, and Phosphorus Loss.

Process-based computer models have been proposed as a tool to generate data for Phosphorus (P) Index assessment and development. Although models are commonly used to simulate P loss from agriculture using managements that are different from the calibration data, this use of models has not been fully tested. The objective of this study is to determine if the Agricultural Policy Environmental eXt...

Impact of gypsum applied to grass buffer strips on reducing soluble p in surface water runoff.

The threat of P transport from land applied manure has resulted in water quality concerns. Research was conducted to evaluate gypsum as a soil amendment applied to grass buffer strips for reducing soluble P in surface runoff. A simulated concentrated flow was created in an established tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pasture. Poultry litter (PL) was applied at a rate of 250 kg N ha(-1)...
