| Abstract/Contents: | "The increased impervious to pervious surface ratios in urban environments has created concern over stormwater runoff quantity and quality and may increase the eutrophication of urban waters. A study was conducted investigating the effect of impervious surface ratios to buffer strip widths and vegetation type on phosphorus concentrations and total runoff volumes. Individual runoff plots were arranged on a six percent slope and dormant seeded during autumn 2002 with a Kentucky bluegrass blend or a shortgrass prairie mix consisting of both forbs and grasses. Treatments consisted of vegetation type and three impervious to pervious surface ratios. Plots received no irrigation so all runoff events were dependent on natural precipitation. Water samples were analyzed for total P, bioavailable P, soluble P, soluble organic P, sediment concentrations, and organic P from sediment. Leachate samples are also being collected and analyzed for nitrate N and ammonium N. Other data include total runoff volumes, soil infiltration, soil analysis, plant densities, thatch, and antecedent soil moisture. Turfgrass plots had significantly less total runoff volumes versus prairie from non-frozen soil during establishment in 2002-2003 with 80 percent of the runoff occurring over frozen soil. Data on water quality and quantity from establishment year 2003 will be presented." |
