Book Effects of Urbanization on Stream riparian Zone Connection Along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina

Download or read book Effects of Urbanization on Stream riparian Zone Connection Along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina written by Jeremy J. Robbins and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible to bury than higher order streams. In the U.S., much of the work concerning stream burial has occurred in large cities (e.g. Baltimore, Detroit), but this has been widely overlooked in smaller municipalities, particularly those located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The objectives of this study were to determine how urbanization affects drainage density (via stream network alterations such as burial and channelization) and influences the adjacent riparian vegetation and instream organic carbon retention in low-order Coastal Plain streams. For the purpose of this study percent total impervious area (%TIA) was used as a proxy for urbanization. It was hypothesized that urbanized watersheds (>20% TIA) would have a higher piped ([less than or equal to] 15 in. or [greater-than or equal to] 38 cm diameter) drainage density than suburban and rural watersheds (20% TIA). It was also hypothesized that watersheds with20% TIA would depict stream-adjacent riparian buffer degradation and reductions in instream organic matter concentrations. Seven watersheds (1.0 km2 to 3.3 km2) were chosen to portray a range of urbanization influences on receiving streams across an urban land-use gradient of 6.9% to 65.6% TIA. For each watershed, nested sampling (stream sediment and water quality) was performed at upstream, midstream, and downstream sites. In-situ evaluations of buffer integrity and stream assessment were performed at the same sites. Results indicated that piped drainage density and %TIA were strongly correlated (R=0.99) across each full watershed and all sub-watersheds (R=0.86). Results also indicated that streamside riparian areas with 20% TIA were relatively unaltered while20% TIA ranged from somewhat altered to severely altered. Results of the instream organic matter analysis depicted significant relationships with non-purgeable organic carbon (p0.05) and the non-purgeable organic carbon to total dissolved nitrogen ratio (p

Book Effects of Urbanization on Stream Ecosystems

Download or read book Effects of Urbanization on Stream Ecosystems written by Larry R. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's population continues to grow, the continual development of riparia areas stresses stream ecosystems. These collected articles aim to provide researchers, aquatic resource managers, land use planners and others with the results of recent studies of the effects of urbanization on stream ecosystems. By presenting fifteen case studies and five regional comparisons, the editors of these proceedings hope to help protect streams form the damages of what they recognize as inevitable urbanization. Foci of the studies include the effects of urbanization on biological diversity and populations, geology, hydrology, and economics.
