Agricultural nonpoint source pollution in urban agricultural areas: An assessment system and mitigation methods

Ya'nan Wang et al.

Summary: With rapid urbanization, the negative external effects of urban agriculture have been increasingly evident. Quantitative description of environmental loss is crucial in pollution control. Scenario analysis based on model simulation and different control schemes is essential in mitigating agricultural non-point source pollution. In the Jinjiang River basin, high nitrogen pollution loads require comprehensive BMP management practices. Differentiated measures can effectively alleviate nitrogen leaching risks from farmland.

Impacts of land use at multiple buffer scales on seasonal water quality in a reticular river network area

Zhimin Zhang et al.

Summary: This study explored the impact of land-use types on water quality parameters in a reticular river network area, finding that orchards have a positive influence while built-up land has a negative effect. Seasonal changes significantly affect water quality parameters, and the impact of land-use types is more pronounced during the dry season.

Scale relationship between landscape pattern and water quality in different pollution source areas: A case study of the Fuxian Lake watershed, China

Shuangyun Peng et al.

Summary: This study focused on the scale relationship between landscape pattern and water quality in different pollution source areas within the Fuxian Lake basin. The research found that different landscape metrics have varying effects on water quality, with Shannon's diversity index (SDI) being a key factor across the entire watershed. The strongest impact of landscape pattern on water quality changes was observed in urban and phosphorus mining regions at sub-watershed scales, while in farmland and village regions, 300 m and 500 m were identified as the areas where landscape pattern had the strongest effect on water quality.

Influence of landscape mosaic structure on nitrate and phosphate discharges: An island-wide assessment in subtropical mountainous Taiwan

Chung-Te Chang et al.

Summary: The composition and configuration of landscapes in humid mountainous watersheds significantly impact nutrient export. High concentrations of NO3-N and PO4-P were found in western Taiwan, while lower concentrations were scattered across mountainous regions and eastern Taiwan. Agricultural land metrics and buildup area metrics at various buffer widths played a key role in explaining variations in nutrient fluxes.

Predicting stream water quality under different urban development pattern scenarios with an interpretable machine learning approach

Runzi Wang et al.

Summary: The study highlights the significant impact of urban development patterns on stream water quality, influencing pollutant generation, build-up, and wash-off processes. Results indicate that high density aggregated development is more effective in reducing TP and nitrate concentrations compared to sprawl development, but may increase the risk of E. coli pollution.

Nonlinearity and threshold effects of landscape pattern on water quality in a rapidly urbanized headwater watershed in China

Jianfeng Liu et al.

Summary: The study suggests that considering nonlinearity and threshold effect can provide insights into the complicated relationship between landscape pattern and water quality. Research conducted in the upper Huai River Basin in China found that landscape area percentage and largest patch index could effectively explain water quality variables, while patch density had a weaker effect. The study also identified different types of landscape thresholds and highlighted their importance as long-term or short-term targets for landscape conservation.

Riparian buffer length is more influential than width on river water quality: A case study in southern Costa Rica

Brumberg Hilary et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of riparian forest buffer length over width in conserving water quality in riparian zones. A lengthier buffer has a greater impact on water quality compared to wider buffers. It suggests that a 15-meter-wide riparian forest buffer supported by Costa Rican legislation can improve water quality if it is at least 500 meters long, providing a rapid and cost-effective management approach to balance agricultural production and water quality protection.

Pronounced Increases in Future Soil Erosion and Sediment Deposition as Influenced by Freeze-Thaw Cycles in the Upper Mississippi River Basin

Qianfeng Wang et al.

Summary: The study projected future soil erosion and sediment deposition in the Upper Mississippi River Basin under different climate scenarios, showing that climate change may intensify soil erosion and increase sediment deposition. Results also demonstrated the importance of considering freeze-thaw cycles in modeling future soil erosion and sediment deposition.
