"Effects of floating aquatic vegetation and canal sediment on phosphorus in drainage discharges in agricultural canals: A case study in the everglades agricultural area, Florida".

Phosphorus (P) discharge from agricultural and urban drainage is known for causing downstream eutrophication worldwide. Agricultural best management practices that are designed to reduce P load out of farms target different P species from various sources such as fertilizers leaching and farm soil and canal sediment erosion, however, few studies have assessed the impact of floating aquatic vegetation (FAV) on canal sediment and farm drainage water quality. This study evaluated the impact of FAVs on canal sediment properties and P water quality in drainage canals in the Everglades Agricultural Area in south Florida, USA.

Changes in nitrogen and phosphorus within a decade in waters along a major canal and estuary in South Florida.

The West Palm Beach-C51 (WPB-C51) canal connects Lake Okeechobee with Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL) in South Florida. This canal receives discharges from Lake Okeechobee and from agricultural and urbanized areas. The objectives of this research were to determine spatial and temporal differences and trends of N and P forms along the WPB-C51 canal and LWL for 2009-2019.
