The water quality response to implementation of conservation measures across watersheds
has been slower and smaller than expected. This has led many to question the efficacy of …

Sediment and phosphorus (P) are two primary pollutants of surface waters. Many studies
have investigated loadings from upland sources or even streambed sediment, but in many …

Agricultural drainage ditches are essential for the removal of surface and ground water to
allow for crop production in poorly drained agricultural landscapes. Ditches also mediate the …

Because of the high sorption affinity of phosphorus (P) for the soil solid phase, mitigation
options to reduce diffuse P transfer usually focus on trapping particulate P delivered via …

Anticipated increases in precipitation intensity due to climate change may affect hydrological
controls on soil N2O fluxes, resulting in a feedback between climate change and soil …

The efficacy of water quality policies aiming to reduce or prevent nitrate contamination of
waterbodies may be constrained by the inherent delay or Btime lag^ of water and solute …

The non-point source pollution induced by phosphorus (P) leaching from fertile soils is
accelerating the eutrophication phenomena in aqueous ecosystems. Herein, to alleviate and …

Urban sustainability initiatives often encompass such goals as increasing local food
production, closing nutrient loops through recycling organic waste, and reducing water …

Understanding the dynamics of phosphorus (P) transport in agricultural drainage ditches is
essential to their improved management for water quality protection. Seven ditches draining …

High levels of accumulated phosphorus (P) in soils of the Delmarva Peninsula are a major
source of dissolved P entering drainage ditches that empty into the Chesapeake Bay. The …
