Nutrient Content at the Sediment-Water Interface of Tile-Fed Agricultural Drainage Ditches
Extensive network of tile drains present in the Midwest USA accelerate losses of nutrients to receiving ditches, rivers and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico. Nutrient inputs from agricultural watersheds and their role in affecting water quality have received increased attention recently; however, benthic sediment-nutrient interactions in tile-fed drainage ditches is still a matter of active res...
متن کاملOccurrence of macrophyte monocultures in drainage ditches relates to phosphorus in both sediment and water
Monocultures of functional equivalent species often negatively affect nutrient cycling and overall biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems. The importance of water and sediment nutrients for the occurrence of monocultures was analysed using field data from drainage ditches. Ranges of nutrients were identified that best explained the occurrence of monocultures of Elodea nuttallii (Planch.) St. John (...
متن کاملImproved management of agricultural drainage ditches for water quality protection : An overview
Groundwater nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) transport from ditch-drained, cultivated fields has not been adequately investigated in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.We monitored hydrology and groundwater Nand P concentrations in 26 shallow (~3 m [10 ft]) wells for 27 months on a heavily ditched, poultry-grain farm on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore. Water tables fluctuated above and below shallow di...
متن کاملDetermining potential for microbial atrazine degradation in agricultural drainage ditches.
Passage of agricultural runoff through vegetated drainage ditches has been shown to reduce the amount of pesticides, such as atrazine, exiting out of agricultural watersheds. Previous studies have found that microbial communities in soil from fields treated with atrazine display enhanced rates of atrazine degradation. However, no studies have examined the potential for atrazine degradation in d...
متن کاملNutrient mitigation capacity in Mississippi Delta, USA drainage ditches.
Eutrophication and hypoxia within aquatic systems are a serious international concern. Various management practices have been proposed to help alleviate nutrient loads transported to the Gulf of Mexico and other high-profile aquatic systems. The current study examined the nutrient mitigation capacity of a vegetated (V) and non-vegetated (NV) agricultural drainage ditch of similar size and landf...
