The implications of weather, nutrient prices, and other factors on nutrient concentrations in agricultural watersheds.
Science of the Total Environment 2019 Februrary 11
This paper examines how nutrient prices, weather, and other factors influenced P outputs in agricultural watersheds using a detailed daily dataset of water quality observations over a 40-year period. Because policies have focused differentially on soluble P through federal permitting programs for point sources and sediments through federal subsidies for conservation, we examine sediment, particulate P and soluble P separately. A novel element of this study is the inclusion of farm fertilizer and output (i.e., corn) prices, which affect agricultural sources of P in these watersheds. We do not find that sediment concentrations are influenced by P prices, but sediment has trended downward, and is seasonally lower in all months except February and March in the Maumee. In contrast, we find that soluble P concentrations are heavily influenced by P prices. They trended downward through 1995, but upwards since. While concerns about fall and winter P application have emerged, we do not find evidence that the distribution of soluble P concentrations shifted towards winter over time. Weather accounts for about 50% of the higher soluble P loadings in 1996-2011, but higher P prices in 2005-2011 lowered P concentrations relative to what they would have been. Other factors account for the remaining 50% of the increase in soluble P concentrations in 1996-2011.
