Phosphorus release and retention by soils of natural isolated wetlands
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrological restoration of historically isolated wetlands may mitigate phosphorus (P) loss. The objectives of this study were to quantify P in soil, determine effect of (1) soil characteristics on P release, and (2) antecedent soil hydrological conditions on P dynamics. Humic/fulvic acid bound P and residual P accounted for majority of P (>78%) in surface soils. Soils with highest nutrient status and labile P fractions released most P during initial flooding. Phosphorus dynamics during additional flooding were dependent on soil characteristics, antecedent soil hydrological conditions, and P levels in the water. Phosphorus retention varied between 0.3 and 8 mg m d.

Wetlands and Aquatic Processes Phosphorus Retention by Wetland Soils used for Treated Wastewater Disposal
Wetlands function as buffers for nutrients loaded from terrestrial ecosystems through drainage and surface discharges. The objectives of our study were to (i) determine the P retention capacity of representative wetland soils being used for disposal of treated wastewater and (U) relate P retention characteristics to selected physicochemical properties to evaluate likely mechanisms of P removal ...

We compared potential denitrification and phosphorus (P) sorption in restored depressional wetlands, restored riparian buffers, and natural riparian buffers of central Ohio to determine to what extent systems restored under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) provide water quality improvement benefits, and to determine which ...
متن کاملEffects of Temperature and Site Characteristics on Phosphorus Dynamics in Four Restored Wetlands: Implications for Wetland Hydrologic Management and Restoration
Restoring historic lake-fringe wetlands is considered a favorable means of reducing lake phosphorus levels; however, it is unclear how various strategies for managing wetland connectivity influence phosphorus release. We investigated the relationships between temperature and soil characteristics of restored wetlands to identify management strategies that minimize external phosphorus loading to ...
