Phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural fields and watersheds has been an important water
quality issue for decades because of the critical role P plays in eutrophication. Historically …

Agricultural intensification has led to a large increase in drained arable land and pastures
worldwide over the last two centuries. The installation of land drains not only affects the …

Background The eutrophication of aquatic systems due to diffuse pollution of agricultural
phosphorus (P) is a local, even regional, water quality problem that can be found world …

Elevated phosphorus (P) concentrations in subsurface drainage water are thought to be the
result of P bypassing the soil matrix via macropore flow. The objectives of this study were to …

Phosphorus (P), a plant macronutrient, must be adequately supplied for crop growth. In
Germany, many soils are high in plant-available P; specifically in arable farming, P fertilizer …

The loss of phosphorous (P) from the landscape is commonly viewed as deleterious for
surface water quality. However, the quantities lost and the impact this can have on surface …

Strongly sorbing compounds such as P, pesticides, and heavy metals can be transported
through soils while being adsorbed to mobile colloidal particles. While the rapid leaching of …

The prevalence of anthropogenic drainage systems in intensively cropped areas across
North America combined with the degradation of important freshwater resources in these …

In Scandinavia high losses of soil and particulate‐bound phosphorus (PP) have been
shown to occur from tine‐cultivated and mouldboard‐ploughed soils in clay soil areas …

Adoption of no-tillage in agricultural watersheds has resulted in substantial reductions in
sediment and particulate phosphorus (P) transport in surface runoff. No-tillage, however …
