The Maumee River transports huge loads of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to Lake Erie. The increased concentrations of N and P are causing eutrophication of the lake, creating hypoxic zones, and contributing to phytoplankton blooms. It is hypothesized that the P loads are a major contributor to harmful algal blooms that occur in the western basin of Lake Erie, particularly in summer. The Maumee River has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a priority watershed where action needs to be taken to reduce nutrient loads. This study quantified rates of biogeochemical processes affecting downstream flux of N and P by 1) measuring indices of potential sediment P retention and 2) measuring...
Twenty-eight sites that consisted of either predominantly agricultural land in the watershed, predominantly agricultural land in the watershed with natural land cover in the riparian zone, or predominantly natural land cover in the watershed were sampled three times during the growing season.

Lake Superior is historically a nutrient poor lake that does not typically support significant cyanobacterial blooms. However, the lake has been experiencing an increase in blooms in the western portion of the basin recently. The largest blooms documented have occurred after recent major flooding events, indicating that nutrients transported to the lake during these events may be a source for the blooms. This study looks into the combination of streambed sediment-derived nutrient data during base flow conditions and suspended and settled sediment-derived nutrient data from storm events to provide information about nutrient transformation and storage in the river networks of the Bois Brule River and Siskiwit River...
