Farmers and policy makers pursue management practices that enhance water quality, increase landscape flood resiliency, mitigate agriculture’s contribution to climate change, all while remaining economically viable. This study presents a holistic assessment of how two influence the supply these ecosystem services—the use an aerator prior manure application in haylands, stacked injection, cover crops, reduced tillage corn silage production. Field data are contextualized by semi-structured...
Abstract Many U.S. states require farmers to evaluate the risk of P loss from farm fields using site assessment tools, such as Phosphorus Index (P‐Index). The simplicity P‐Index allows for users with various backgrounds utilize tool; however, may be limited in its ability reliably predict losses across variable terrain, instance where saturation‐excess runoff generation dominates. objective this study was identify potential improvements that could made Vermont (VT P‐Index) by comparing VT...
Soil aeration is increasingly being used on haylands in the northeastern United States as a water quality best management practice to decrease runoff volumes and flow rates, associated export of nutrients nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P). However, there lack data effects soil field-scale hydrologic nutrient fluxes cold-climate regions. The objective this study was evaluate prior dairy manure application edge-of-field hydrology, quality, P Vermont, States, during both precipitation...
