| Abstract |
National Eutrophication Survey data for 143 drainage areas in the north-central and northeastern United States affected only by non-point sources were studied to determine relationships between general land use and stream nutrients. Both total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations and loads in streams were considered. Mean annual nutrient concentrations were significantly higher in streams draining agricultural lands than in those draining forested watersheds and these differences were greater for total phosphorus (0.151 as compared to 0.014 mg/l) than for total nitrogen (3.10 as compared to 0.77 mg/l). Animal density had a significant effect on both nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in streams. Little correlation was found between stream nutrient loads and overall land use. |
