Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation is a series of studies related to the development of a TMDL for the Olentangy watershed. In the first study, a customized version of the SWAT model was used to predict hydrology and water chemistry for the Olentangy River watershed (1985-2002). This version of SWAT simulated a restrictive layer in the soil profile and its impact on subsurface drainage, watershed hydrology, and nutrient and sediment transport. Model parameterization and calibration are presented. Following model calibration all land use in the watershed was changed to forest, prairie, or wetlands to predict potential water quality of pre-European conditions. Results suggest that sediment, total phosphorus, and nitrate-nitrogen at the watershed outlet have increased by factors of approximately 50, 20, and 3, respectively, for most subwatersheds in the watershed. The calibrated SWAT model was used to predict the potential water quality benefits of alternative management scenarios. Alternative management scenarios that were evaluated include: 1) crop rotations, 2) fertilizer application rates, 3) types of tillage, 4) timing of tillage operations, and 5) buffer strips. A 33-meter buffer strip was predicted to provide the largest water quality benefits when compared to other alternative management scenarios. Another study was conducted to develop a geomorphology assessment index to provide a logical and minimally biased framework to evaluate dynamic equilibrium at study sites in the Olentangy River watershed. Regional curves were developed using geomorphology data from study sites impacted by a variety of disturbances. A diagnostic approach that integrated multiple lines of evidence was used to develop the index. In chapter 5 a statistical analysis was conducted to examine species-environment relationships between stream biology and environmental variables such as water quality, habitat, spatial location, and geomorphology. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was used to elucidate relationships between biology and environmental variability. Partial CCA techniques were used to partition variation among the groups of environmental variables. Environmental variables were grouped into three categories including geomorphology variables, habitat variables, and spatial location variables. The partial CCA technique was used to partition variation between each of these variable groups. Results suggest that geomorphology variables explained the most variation.

Download or read book Influences of Fluvial Geomorphology on Aquatic to terrestrial Hg Transport Evidence from Protected and Urban Streams of Central Ohio USA written by Lindsey E. Boaz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluvial geomorphology is a driver of sediment supply and storage and may therefore affect the accessibility of sediment-bound mercury (Hg) to aquatic organisms, in addition to influencing aquatic food-web structure via physical habitat controls. In particular, benthic insects that in their larval form are aquatic but emerge into the terrestrial environment as winged adults have been shown to be both highly influenced by stream hydrogeomorphology as well as a vector of contaminant transport from aquatic-to-terrestrial systems. Therefore, the potential for fluvial geomorphology to influence both the aquatic-to-terrestrial export of Hg and the potential use of Hg as an aquatic-terrestrial food-web tracer is significant. I first evaluated Hg as a tracer for trophic structure and dynamics for linked stream-riparian systems under differing fluvial geomorphic conditions within a relatively protected watershed. To that end, I investigated potential differences in Hg dynamics and trophic structure between equilibrium (i.e., stable) and adjusting (i.e., unstable) stream reaches as well as the potential for Hg to model linked aquatic-terrestrial food webs at 20 stream-riparian study reaches in Big Darby Creek watershed (OH, USA). At each reach, I conducted geomorphic surveys and sampled sediment, water, benthic and emergent aquatic insects, darters (small, insectivorous stream fish), and two riparian spider families (Tetragnathidae and Pisauridae) for Hg and the stable isotopes 13C and 15N. I provide evidence that fluvial geomorphology may influence Hg availability and aquatic-terrestrial transport (via sediment storage and particle size). Although potential exists for the use of Hg as a food-web tracer, these factors - in addition to opportunistic feeding behavior among consumer groups - may mediate its effectiveness. I next evaluated the influences of fluvial geomorphology on aquatic-to-terrestrial Hg export across a gradient of geomorphic characteristics within an urbanized watershed, where the magnitude and ubiquity of geomorphic adjustment may be a controlling factor in Hg dispersal, bioaccumulation, and export across the aquatic-to-terrestrial boundary. In particular, I investigated the relationships between channel geometry, hydraulics, and amount of fine sediment and (1) Hg loads in sediment, larval, and emergent aquatic insects and (2) aquatic-to-terrestrial contaminant transfer to riparian spiders (Pisauridae and Tetragnathidae). Although fluvial geomorphic characteristics were not related to Hg loads in sediment or larval aquatic insects, I found significant relationships between fluvial geomorphic characteristics and pisaurid spider Hg levels. Fluvial geomorphic characteristics also significantly influenced emergent insect abundance and tended to influence tetragnathid spider Hg levels and emergent insect community composition. Collectively, these results indicate that fluvial geomorphology may be an important player in governing aquatic-to-terrestrial contaminant transport via both sediment dynamics and trophic linkages, although the exact nature of these relationships is likely to differ among systems. In the protected system of my study, fluvial geomorphology also appears to mediate the use of Hg as an aquatic-to-terrestrial food-web tracer through its effects on Hg accessibility and community structure, the latter of which is evidenced in family-level differences in Hg storage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From this high promontory, the landforms of the Sonoran Des ert take on awesome proportions. The mesas, buttes, cinder cones, basalt flows, mountains, and valleys, all carved and modi fied by water in this dry place, must be measured in kilometers and millions of years. Even the colors are dazzling. The volcanic rocks, altered by ancient hydrothermal activity, glow a warm orange and yellow in the October sun. The bright, clear light illuminates each tiny crevice etched by weathering and erosion in the cliffs. Several hundred meters below and about a kilo meter away the river rolls, a brown silt-laden ribbon on the floor of the gorge. The water rustles so quietly that I can hear it only when the wind dies. In the distance, sharp mountain peaks rake the bottom of the ocean of air where streamers of clouds stretch over the horizon to the ocean of water. The field is a fitting place to write the preface for a book on geomorphology because of the importance of the field experi ence in the development of the science. Dramatic landforms and processes, especially in drylands, have excited the imagination and intellect of artists, writers, and scientists. Each observer has explored a different route to knowing and understanding this thin envelope that is the contact between sky and earth. De scriptions of these striking landscapes have appealed to cataclys mic forces, operation of machine-like processes, and even ran dom occurrences governed by happenstance.
