Research
Transfer and Delivery of Phosphorus in Hydrologic Pathways
My research aims to explore the variability of phosphorus (P) concentration, load, and delivery in different hydrologic pathways at different spatiotemporal scales. Three scales of hydrologic pathways are being explored: 1) hillslope (‹2 ha), 2) small watershed (2-44 ha), and 3) medium to large watershed (103 - 107 ha). At each scale, the variability of P in the predominant hydrologic pathway(s) will be characterized and related to factors that are relevant to the scale of interest. While it is not a direct focus of my research, an underlying question will be to determine if or how any relationships involving hydrologic transfer of P are related (i.e. linearly) across scales. My research is constrained to watershed systems in Georgia, USA. Emphasis is placed on first-order streams in the upper Etowah River basin in north-central Georgia that drain predominantly agricultural (i.e. cattle-grazed pasture and/or pasture receiving poultry litter fertilizer) or forested watersheds.
