Contribution of Point Source Inputs of Phosphorus from a Bunker Silo in a Small Agricultural Watershed in Southern Ontario, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-28)Nutrient losses from agricultural operations contributes to the issue of eutrophication of freshwater systems. Although many studies have been conducted on diffuse nutrient losses from fertilizer application, there is a ... -
Edge of Field Vegetated Buffers as a Potential Source of Dissolved Phosphorus over the Non-Growing Season in Cold Climates
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-26)Phosphorus (P) rich runoff from agricultural landscapes are a major contributor to freshwater eutrophication issues. To intercept this runoff before it reaches waterways, vegetated buffer strips (VBS) are often employed ... -
Effects of Tillage and Fertilizer Placement on Subsurface Phosphorus Loss Following Fall Manure Application over the Non-Growing Season
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-25)Increased phosphorus (P) loadings from agricultural runoff into the Great Lakes can lead to eutrophication, resulting in harmful algal blooms and hypoxic conditions. Many studies have demonstrated that subsurface tile ... -
Impacts Of Seismic Line Restoration Techniques On Nutrient Biogeochemical Processes In A Boreal Fen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Peatlands contain 40 cm or more of partially-decomposed plant matter and sequester carbon and nutrients. The disturbance of peatlands alters these ecological functions. Seismic lines, long cutlines in the forest created ...
