Dissolved Phosphorus Transport during Storm and Base Flow Conditions from an Agriculturally Intensive Southeastern Coastal Plain Watershed
The high density of animal production in southeastern Coastal Plain watersheds has caused some soils to contain excess amounts of plant–available soil phosphorus (P). Runoff, erosion, and leaching can transport P to surface water systems and out of these watersheds. High P concentrations in downstream aquatic ecosystems can increase the risk of eutrophication. Our objectives were to determine s...
متن کاملDissolved phosphorus export from an animal waste impacted in-stream wetland: response to tropical storm and hurricane disturbance.
The ability of wetlands to retain P makes them an important landscape feature that buffers P movement. However, their P retention ability can be compromised through hydrologic disturbances caused by hurricanes and tropical storms (TS). This study had three objectives: (i) to determine the effects of hurricanes and TS on dissolved phosphorus (DP) concentrations and loads discharged from a Coasta...
متن کاملNitrogen concentrations in a small Mediterranean stream: 1. Nitrate 2. Ammonium
The importance of storm frequency as well as the groundwater and hyporheic inputs on nitrate (NO3-N) and ammonium (NH4-N) levels in stream water were studied in a small perennial Mediterranean catchment, Riera Major, in northeast Spain. NO3-N concentrations ranged from 0.15 to 1.9 mg l-1. Discharge explained 47% of the annual NO3-N concentration variance, but this percentage increased to 97% wh...
متن کاملPhosphorus sorption by sediments in a southeastern coastal plain in-stream wetland.
A close relationship has been reported between sediment organic C (SedOC) content and its P sorption capacity (P(max)) and total P (TP) concentration. Phosphorus sorbed to organically complexed cations is a proposed explanation for this relationship. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine relationships between in-stream wetland SedOC content and both the sediment's P(max) and TP con...
متن کاملLarge Wood Debris Recruitment on Differing Riparian Landforms along a Gulf Coastal Plain (usa) Stream: a Comparison of Large Floods and Average Flows
In southeastern Coastal Plain streams, wood debris can be very abundant and is recruited from extensive forested floodplains. Despite importance of wood debris, there have been few opportunities to examine recruitment and redistribution of wood in an undisturbed setting, particularly in the southeastern Coastal Plain. Following extensive flooding in 1994, measurements of individual downed trees...
