Summary

The objective of this project was to assess in-stream nitrogen removal capacity in a fragmented agricultural landscape and to compare removal capacities in streams with agricultural or residential (hereafter referred to as agricultural streams) and forested riparian land use. We also identified what stream characteristics control nitrogen removal in these systems. We examined paired reaches (one agricultural and one forested reach) along five headwater streams in an agricultural watershed (Upper Sugar Creek Watershed) in northeast Ohio. Although denitrification rates were high <0.1-17.2 microgram N m⁻² h⁻¹) annual nitrogen removal was most likely low because during spring and fall, when in-stream nitrogen loads were high, removal was [...]
