总体上, 对养分和沉积物的连续监测在利用抓取取样法进行监测时有几个优点。水文和水质过程在很短的时间内受到降雨的影响。用户可以获得高分辨率的养分和沉积物的时间分辨数据来研究复杂的问题。其他水质参数, 如电导率, pH 值, 温度和做, 可以同时获得, 并与监测硝酸盐, 铵和浊度的成本相同。此外, 还有来自制造商的其他传感器, 可以测量更多的水质参数, 如叶绿素、盐度和 oxidation-reduction...

水质监测提供有关污染物在不同空间尺度上的浓度的信息, 这取决于贡献面积的大小, 这可以从地块或农田到分水岭。这种监视在一段时间内发生, 例如单个事件、一天、一个季节或一年。监测水质的信息, 主要涉及营养物质 (例如,氮和磷) 和沉积物, 可用于: 1) 了解水文过程和河流中污染物的运输和转化,如农业排水沟;2) 评估应用于流域的管理实践的效率, 以减少养分和泥沙负荷, 提高水质;3) 评估向下游水域输送泥沙和养分的情况;4) 改进养分和沉积物的建模, 以了解水文和水质过程, 确定污染物在时间和空间尺度范围内的迁移和动态。
这些信息对水生生态系统恢复、可持续规划和水资源管理至关重要1。
在流域的养分和泥沙监测最常用的方法是抓取取样。抓取采样准确表示采样2时的快照集中。在频繁取样的情况下, 还可以描述污染物浓度随时间的变化。然而, 频繁的采样是时间密集型和昂贵的, 常常使它不切实际的2。此外, 抓取取样可能或高估实际污染物在取样时间外的浓度2,3,4。因此, 使用这种浓度计算的载荷可能不准确。
另外, 连续监测在预定的时间间隔, 如一分钟、一小时或一天, 提供准确和及时的水质信息。用户可以根据需要选择适当的时间间隔。连续监测使研究人员、规划者和管理人员能够优化样本收集;开发和监控 time-integrated 指标, 如总最大日负荷 (TMDLs);评估水体的娱乐性使用;评估基线流条件;并在空间和世俗上评估污染物的变化, 以确定因果关系, 并制定一个管理计划5,6。由于计算和传感器技术的进步、存储设备容量的提高以及研究更复杂过程所需的日益增加的数据要求, 对营养物质和沉积物的持续监测最近得到越来越多的关注1,5,7. 在对超过700水专业人士进行的全球调查中, 多参数 sondes 的使用从2002年的26% 增加到 61%, 到 2012, 预计将在 2022年66%之前达到5。在同一调查中, 72% 的受访者表示需要扩展其监测网络以满足其数据需要5。在 2012年, 监测网络中的监测站数目和每个监测站监测的变数数目预计将分别增加53% 和 64%, 到 2022年5。
然而, 农业流域持续的水质和水量监测具有挑战性。大型降雨事件冲走泥沙和植物, 造成高泥沙负荷和碎片堆积在传感器和 sondes。过量氮磷径流在农田中的应用为微观和宏观生物的生长和河道传感器和 sondes 的污染创造了理想的条件, 特别是在夏季。污垢和沉积物堆积会导致传感器失效、漂移和产生不可靠的数据。尽管有这些挑战, 但为了研究径流过程和非点源污染, 需要更精细的时间分辨率 (低至每分钟) 数据, 因为它们受分水岭特性 (例如,大小、土壤、坡度、等) 的影响.) 以及降雨的时间和强度7。仔细的现场观察, 频繁的校准, 适当的清洁和维护, 可以确保来自传感器和 sondes 的高质量数据, 即使在更精细的时间分辨率下。
在这里, 我们讨论了使用多参数水质 sondes、面积速度和压力传感器传感器和 autosamplers 对两个农业分水岭进行连续监测的方法; 其标定和现场维护;和数据处理。该议定书展示了一种可持续水质监测的方法。该议定书一般适用于任何类型或规模的流域的连续水质和数量监测。
该议定书是在阿肯色州东北部的小河流沟盆地 (HUC 080202040803, 53.4 公里2区) 和下 St. 弗朗西斯盆地 (HUC 080202030801, 23.4 公里2地区) 进行的。这两条分水岭流入密西西比河的支流。密西西比河下游保护委员会和墨西哥湾低氧工作队确定了监测密西西比支流的需要, 以制定流域管理计划并记录管理活动的进展情况8,9. 此外, 这些分水岭被美国农业部-自然资源保护局 (USDA-NRCS) 作为重点分水岭, 其基础是减少营养和沉积物污染的潜力, 并改善水质10。Edge-of-field 监测正在这些流域进行, 作为全州密西西比河流域健康流域倡议 (MRBI) 网络11的一部分。在 Aryal 和蕾 (2017)6中提供了更多的流域细节 (即站点位置、分水岭特征、等)。总之, 小河流沟盆地主要是淤泥质壤土, 棉花和大豆是主要的农作物, 而下 St. 河流域则主要是夏基粘土, 而水稻和大豆是主要的农作物。在每个分水岭,原位连续水量和质量监测 (即,排放温度、pH 值、干度、浊度、电导率、硝酸盐和铵) 在主流使用本议定书的三站进行了解污染物负荷和水文过程的时空变异性。另外, 对悬浮泥沙 co 进行了每周水样的收集和分析ncentration

continuous instream monitoring of nutrients and sediment in agricultural watersheds

流域的污染物浓度和负荷随时间和空间的不同而变化较大。准确和及时地了解水资源中污染物的大小, 是理解污染物负荷的驱动因素和作出明达的水资源管理决定的先决条件。常用的 "抓取取样" 方法在取样时提供污染物浓度 (即,一个快照浓度), 并可或 overpredict 污染物的浓度和负荷。由于在计算、传感技术和存储设备方面的进步, 对营养物质和沉积物的连续监测最近受到越来越多的关注。此协议演示了传感器、sondes 和仪器的使用, 以连续监视原位硝酸盐、铵、浊度、pH、电导率、温度和溶解氧 (做), 并计算两个流 (沟渠) 中的负载两个农业分水岭。通过对传感器和 sondes 进行适当的校准、维护和操作, 可以通过克服诸如污垢和碎片堆积等具有挑战性的条件来获得良好的水质数据。该方法还可用于各种规模的流域, 并以农业、森林和/或城市土地为特征。

Watershed Planning within a Quantitative Scenario Analysis Framework

There is a critical need for tools and methodologies capable of managing aquatic systems within heavily impacted watersheds. Current efforts often fall short as a result of an inability to quantify and predict complex cumulative effects of current and future land use scenarios at relevant spatial scales. The goal of this manuscript is to provide methods for conducting a targeted watershed assessment that enables resource managers to produce landscape-based cumulative effects models for use within a scenario analysis management framework. Sites are first selected for inclusion within the watershed assessment by identifying sites that fall along independent gradients and combinations of known stressors. Field and laboratory techniques are then used to obtain data on the physical, chemical, and biological effects of multiple land use activities. Multiple linear regression analysis is then used to produce landscape-based cumulative effects models for predicting aquatic conditions. Lastly, methods for incorporating cumulative effects models within a scenario analysis framework for guiding management and regulatory decisions (e.g., permitting and mitigation) within actively developing watersheds are discussed and demonstrated for 2 sub-watersheds within the mountaintop mining region of central Appalachia. The watershed assessment and management approach provided herein enables resource managers to facilitate economic and development activity while protecting aquatic resources and producing opportunity for net ecological benefits through targeted remediation.

There is a critical need for tools and methodologies capable of managing aquatic systems in the face of uncertain future conditions. We provide methods for conducting a targeted watershed assessment that enables resource managers to produce landscape-based cumulative effects models for use within a scenario analysis management framework.

Understanding Dissolved Organic Matter Biogeochemistry Through In Situ Nutrient Manipulations in Stream Ecosystems

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a highly diverse mixture of molecules providing one of the largest sources of energy and nutrients to stream ecosystems. Yet the in situ study of DOM is difficult as the molecular complexity of the DOM pool cannot be easily reproduced for experimental purposes. Nutrient additions to streams however, have been shown to repeatedly alter the in situ and ambient DOM pool. Here we demonstrate an easily replicable field-based method for manipulating the ambient pool of DOM at the ecosystem scale. During nutrient pulse experiments changes in the concentration of both dissolved organic carbon and dissolved organic nitrogen can be examined across a wide-range of nutrient concentrations. This method allows researchers to examine the controls on the DOM pool and make inferences regarding the role and function that certain fractions of the DOM pool play within ecosystems. We advocate the use of this method as a technique to help develop a deeper understanding of DOM biogeochemistry and how it interacts with nutrients. With further development this method may help elucidate the dynamics of DOM in other ecosystems.

Vegetated Treatment Systems for Removing Contaminants Associated with Surface Water Toxicity in Agriculture and Urban Runoff

Urban stormwater and agriculture irrigation runoff contain a complex mixture of contaminants that are often toxic to adjacent receiving waters. Runoff may be treated with simple systems designed to promote sorption of contaminants to vegetation and soils and promote infiltration. Two example systems are described: a bioswale treatment system for urban stormwater treatment, and a vegetated drainage ditch for treating agriculture irrigation runoff. Both have similar attributes that reduce contaminant loading in runoff: vegetation that results in sorption of the contaminants to the soil and plant surfaces, and water infiltration. These systems may also include the integration of granulated activated carbon as a polishing step to remove residual contaminants. Implementation of these systems in agriculture and urban watersheds requires system monitoring to verify treatment efficacy. This includes chemical monitoring for specific contaminants responsible for toxicity. The current paper emphasizes monitoring of current use pesticides since these are responsible for surface water toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.

This article summarizes the design attributes and the effectiveness of treatment systems that treat urban stormwater and agriculture irrigation runoff to remove pesticides and other contaminants associated with aquatic toxicity.

Capturing Flow-weighted Water and Suspended Particulates from Agricultural Canals During Drainage Events

The purpose of this study is to describe the methods used to capture flow-weighted water and suspended particulates from farm canals during drainage discharge events. Farm canals can be enriched by nutrients such as phosphorus (P) that are susceptible to transport. Phosphorus in the form of suspended particulates can significantly contribute to the overall P loads in drainage water. A settling tank experiment was conducted to capture suspended particulates during discrete drainage events. Farm canal discharge water was collected in a series of two 200 L settling tanks over the entire duration of the drainage event, so as to represent a composite subsample of the water being discharged. Imhoff settling cones are ultimately used to settle out the suspended particulates. This is achieved by siphoning water from the settling tanks via the cones. The particulates are then collected for physico-chemical analyses.

Nutrients present in particulate form can contribute significantly to the overall loads in agricultural drainage waters. This study describes a novel method to capture flow-weighted water and suspended particulates from farm canal drainage over the entire duration of the drainage event.

Continuous Hydrologic and Water Quality Monitoring of Vernal Ponds

Vernal ponds, also referred to as vernal pools, provide critical ecosystem services and habitat for a variety of threatened and endangered species. However, they are vulnerable parts of the landscapes that are often poorly understood and understudied. Land use and management practices, as well as climate change are thought to be a contribution to the global amphibian decline. However, more research is needed to understand the extent of these impacts. Here, we present methodology for characterizing a vernal pond's morphology and detail a monitoring station that can be used to collect water quantity and quality data over the duration of a vernal pond's hydroperiod. We provide methodology for how to conduct field surveys to characterize the morphology and develop stage-storage curves for a vernal pond. Additionally, we provide methodology for monitoring the water level, temperature, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity of water in a vernal pond, as well as monitoring rainfall data. This information can be used to better quantify the ecosystem services that vernal ponds provide and the impacts of anthropogenic activities on their ability to provide these services.

Understanding the ecosystem services and processes provided by vernal ponds and the impacts of anthropogenic activities on their ability to provide these services requires intensive hydrologic monitoring. This sampling protocol using in-situ monitoring equipment was developed to understand the impact of anthropogenic activities on water levels and quality.

Measuring Phosphorus Release in Laboratory Microcosms for Water Quality Assessment

Phosphorus (P) is a critical limiting nutrient in agroecosystems requiring careful management to reduce transport risk to aquatic environments. Routine laboratory measures of P bioavailability are based on chemical extractions performed on dried samples under oxidizing conditions. While useful, these tests are limited with respect to characterizing P release under prolonged water saturation. Labile orthophosphate bound to oxidized iron and other metals can rapidly desorb to solution in reducing environments, increasing P mobilization risk to surface runoff and groundwater. To better quantify P desorption potential and mobility during extended saturation, a laboratory microcosm method was developed based on repeated sampling of porewater and overlying floodwater over time. The method is useful for quantifying P release potential from soils and sediments varying in physicochemical properties and can improve site-specific P mitigation efforts by better characterizing P release risk in hydrologically active areas. Advantages of the method include its ability to simulate in situ dynamics, simplicity, low cost, and flexibility.

Accurate quantification of phosphorus (P) desorption potential in saturated soils and sediments is important for P modeling and transport mitigation efforts. To better account for in situ soil-water redox dynamics and P mobilization under prolonged saturation, a simple approach was developed based on repeated sampling of laboratory microcosms.

Monitoring Pedogenic Inorganic Carbon Accumulation Due to Weathering of Amended Silicate Minerals in Agricultural Soils.

The present study aims to demonstrate a systematic procedure for monitoring inorganic carbon induced by enhanced weathering of comminuted rocks in agricultural soils. To this end, the core soil samples taken at different depth (including 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm, and 30-60 cm profiles) are collected from an agriculture field, the topsoil of which has already been enriched with an alkaline earth metal silicate containing mineral (such as wollastonite). After transporting to the laboratory, the soil samples are air-dried and sieved. Then, the inorganic carbon content of the samples is determined by a volumetric method called calcimetry. The representative results presented herein showed five folded increments of inorganic carbon content in the soils amended with the Ca-silicate compared to control soils. This compositional change was accompanied by more than 1 unit of pH increase in the amended soils, implying high dissolution of the silicate. Mineralogical and morphological analyses, as well as elemental composition, further corroborate the increase in the inorganic carbon content of silicate-amended soils. The sampling and analysis methods presented in this study can be adopted by researchers and professionals looking to trace pedogenic inorganic carbon changes in soils and subsoils, including those amended with other suitable silicate rocks such as basalt and olivine. These methods can also be exploited as tools for verifying soil inorganic carbon sequestration by private and governmental entities to certify and award carbon credits.

The verification method described here is adaptable for monitoring pedogenic inorganic carbon sequestration in various agricultural soils amended with alkaline earth metal silicate-containing rocks, such as wollastonite, basalt, and olivine. This type of validation is essential for carbon credit programs, which can benefit farmers that sequester carbon in their fields.

In Situ Soil Moisture Sensors in Undisturbed Soils

Soil moisture directly affects operational hydrology, food security, ecosystem services, and the climate system. However, the adoption of soil moisture data has been slow due to inconsistent data collection, poor standardization, and typically short record duration. Soil moisture, or quantitatively volumetric soil water content (SWC), is measured using buried, in situ sensors that infer SWC from an electromagnetic response. This signal can vary considerably with local site conditions such as clay content and mineralogy, soil salinity or bulk electrical conductivity, and soil temperature; each of these can have varying impacts depending on the sensor technology.
Furthermore, poor soil contact and sensor degradation can affect the quality of these readings over time. Unlike more traditional environmental sensors, there are no accepted standards, maintenance practices, or quality controls for SWC data. As such, SWC is a challenging measurement for many environmental monitoring networks to implement. Here, we attempt to establish a community-based standard of practice for in situ SWC sensors so that future research and applications have consistent guidance on site selection, sensor installation, data interpretation, and long-term maintenance of monitoring stations.
The videography focuses on a multi-agency consensus of best-practices and recommendations for the installation of in situ SWC sensors. This paper presents an overview of this protocol along with the various steps essential for high-quality and long-term SWC data collection.

Visualization of Productivity Zones Based on Nitrogen Mass Balance Model in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island

Primary productivity in the coastal regions, linked to eutrophication and hypoxia, provides a critical understanding of ecosystem function. Although primary productivity largely depends on riverine nutrient inputs, estimation of the extent of riverine nutrient influences in the coastal regions is challenging. A nitrogen mass balance model is a practical tool to evaluate coastal ocean productivity to understand biological mechanisms beyond data observations. This study visualizes the biological production zones in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, where hypoxia frequently occurs, by applying a nitrogen mass balance model. The Bay is divided into three zones - brown, green, and blue zones - based on primary productivity, which are defined by the mass balance model results. Brown, green, and blue zones represent a high physical process, a high biological process, and a low biological process zone, depending on river flow, nutrient concentrations, and mixing rates. The results of this study can better inform nutrient management in the coastal ocean in response to hypoxia and eutrophication.
