Abstract |
Retention of sulfur(S) was estimated in watersheds of the Eastern U.S. by calculating S input-output budgets for 678 lake and reservoir watershed systems in the Northeast (NE), 98 lake and reservoir and 61 stream systems of the Southern Blue Ridge Province (SBRP) and 56 stream systems of Shenandoah National Park (SNP). Budgets were determined based on estimates of deposition and output (as surface water) for each of the sites. A variety of estimates of total S deposition were used. Percent S retention is high for sites in the SBRP and SNP but is distributed around zero for sites in the NE. These findings lend support to the hypothesis that patterns exist in S retention relative to the extent of the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. (Copyright (c) 1987 by D. Reidel Publishing Company.) |
