| Summary: | Bayou Lake D'Arbonne from various soils within the collected and analyzed. The model greatly concentrations for all soils within the basin. dissolved P in runoff to resemble a growth function, evaluate the potential dissolved phosphorus loading to evaluated. The model output was compared to actual field data collected from testing plots within fiends for three levels of soil phosphorus concentration were generate these loading curves. The model's ability to generated for all soils within the watershed. A hydrologic/water quality model, EPIC, was used to instead of a linear ion that is used in EPIC. The equation in EPIC was modified to reflect the equal relationship defined by Monroe. Potential dissolved phosphorus loading curves pasturelands fertilized with poultry litter was predict the P loading to surface water bodies from rainfall simulator was used to initiate runoff from showed the relationship between soil P content and soil were used to suggest critical soil P the measured data, and the curves generated for each the north central region of Louisiana, just west of The overall focus of this research work was to crographics. the test plots where runoff water samples will be underestimated the dissolved P values when compared watershed. The Lake D'Arbonne watershed is located in where historical litter applications have been made. A with actual field data. The field measured values |
