Article Synopsis
- The study examines how forest harvesting affects water quality indicators (NO-N, total P, TSS) across different U.S. regions, focusing on the time it takes for these metrics to stabilize post-harvest.
- It employs a mixed model to analyze the response periods and regional differences, utilizing watershed studies with best management practices for accurate water quality assessments.
- Key findings include that TSS exports increase significantly with discharge from plantations, and northern regions showed higher NO-N yields compared to southern and western areas.
Phosphorus is among the essential nutrients applied to sugarcane ( L.) fields in the form of a fertilizer mixture (N, P, and K) in southwestern Florida. Sorption coefficient is used for modeling P movement, and in this study, we hypothesized that the sorption coefficient determined using fertilizer mixture (N, P, and K) will be significantly different from values determined using KCl and CaCl, the electrolytes most commonly used for conducting sorption experiments.

Sorption isotherms of SHOCs are normally measured in aqueous systems to determine K(OC). Since SHOCs can adsorb on container walls leading to overestimation of K(OC), we used mixed solvent systems to characterize this potential error.
