| Abstract |
The effectiveness of vegetative filter strips (VFS) in the removal of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus from feedlot and cropland runoff was evaluated using a rainfall simulator. Artificially created rainfall was applied to nine experimental field plots with a vegetative filter strip located at the lower end of each plot. Water samples were collected at the bottom of each plot and analyzed for sediment and nutrient content. VFS with shallow uniform flow were effective in removing between 57 and 87% of suspended solids and soluble nutrients. VFS with concentrated flow were much less effective. |
