Biogeochemical Hotspots: Role of Small Water Bodies in Landscape Nutrient Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-09)Increased loading of nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural and urban intensification has led to severe degradation of inland and coastal waters. Lakes, reservoirs, wetlands, and streams retain and transform these ... -
A process-based stable isotope approach to carbon cycling in recently flooded upland boreal forest reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2002)Reservoirs impound and store large volumes of water and flood land. The water is used for electricity generation, irrigation, industrial and municipal consumption, flood control and to improve navigation. The ... -
Quantifying the role of reservoirs in altering phosphorus dynamics using a combination of data analysis and process modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-29)Excess phosphorus (P) from agricultural watersheds promotes eutrophication in downstream aquatic systems. Reservoirs retain P generated from farm fields and protect downstream waters. Reservoirs also act as hotspots for P ...
