Abstract Wetland restoration is a primary management option for removing surplus nitrogen draining from agricultural landscapes. However, wetland capacity to mitigate losses at large river-basin scales remains uncertain. This largely due limited number of studies that address the cumulative and dynamic effects restored wetlands across landscape on downstream nutrient conditions. We analyzed impacts modeled nitrate dynamics 279 subbasins comprising ∼0.5 million km 2 Upper Mississippi River...
River basin-scale wetland restoration and creation is a primary management option for mitigating nitrogen-based water quality challenges. However, the magnitude of nitrogen reduction that will result from adding wetlands across large river basins uncertain, partly because areal extent, location, physical functional characteristics are unknown. We simulated over 3600 scenarios ∼450,000 km2 Upper Mississippi Basin (UMRB) depicting varied assumptions characteristics, placement strategy. These...
Abstract In the Ohio River (OR), backwater confluence sedimentation dynamics are understudied, however, these river features expected to be influential on system’s ecological and economic function when integrated along river’s length. following paper, we test efficacy of organic inorganic tracers for sediment fingerprinting in confluences; use results evidence controlling deposition patterns confluences used wetland marina functions; quantify spatial extent tributary drainages with OR...
Contemporary measures of sex-role affiliation, which emphasize the relative independence masculine and feminine attributes, typically rely upon a median-split procedure to generate four-fold typology, e.g., masculine, feminine, indeterminant, androgynous types. Methodological problems created by this classification technique are illustrated for one combined male/female sample three male samples given PRF ANDRO. The number in each standardization was Combined, 772; Males, 386; Alcoholics,...
