Hysteresis analysis of nitrate dynamics in the Neuse River, NC

Baker, E. B., & Showers, W. J. (2018, October 20). The Science of The Total Environment.

By: E. Baker n & W. Showers n

author keywords: Nitrate; Hysteresis; Nutrient dynamics; Storm runoff; Eutrophication
topics (OpenAlex): Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics; Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies; Fish Ecology and Management Studies
TL;DR: A high-resolution nitrate monitoring record over a 10-year period in the Neuse River Basin near Clayton, North Carolina shows that dry soil conditions and frequent small storms during summer leads to greater nitrate transport on the rising limb, in contrast to slower, groundwater-driven inputs during the rest of the year.
