This project investigates the origin of the nitrogen stored in the riparian soils above milldams, the dominant processes controlling its transformation, and its risk of being released into the stream.
Funded by: National Science Foundation Riparian soils above low-head dams (milldams) usually contain large amounts of bioavailable nitrogen that could impair the adjacent streams if it becomes mobilized.
