Contemporary land use can affect sediment nutrient processes in rivers draining heavily modified watersheds; however, studies linking land use to sediment nutrient processes in large river networks are limited. In this study, we developed and evaluated structural equation models for denitrification and phosphorus retention capacity to determine direct and indirect linkages between current land use and sediment nutrient processes during base flow in the Fox River watershed, WI, USA. A large spatial‐scale dataset used for this study included sediment nitrogen and phosphorus retention measurements and land use information for 106 sites. The structural equation models for the Fox River watershed identified direct links between current land use and in‐stream sediment nutrient processes. Subwatersheds with agricultural land consisting of more natural land cover had lower surface water nitrate concentrations and higher denitrification enzyme activity than subwatersheds with less alternative cover. This indicates that best management practices implemented in the Fox River watershed that restore natural land cover can improve water quality through nitrogen removal on the agricultural landscape and in the river network. Best management practices are not having the same measurable effects on phosphorus in the river network, most likely due to legacy phosphorus stored in the sediment.

结构方程模型在重度流域土地利用对沉积物养分过程的影响

当代土地利用会影响流经严重修改过的集水区的河流中的沉积物养分过程;但是,将土地利用与大型河网中的沉积物养分过程联系起来的研究是有限的。在这项研究中,我们开发和评估了反硝化作用和磷保持能力的结构方程模型,以确定在美国威斯康星州福克斯河流域的基流期间当前土地利用与沉积物养分过程之间的直接和间接联系。这项研究使用的大型空间规模数据集包括沉积物氮和磷的保留量测量以及106个站点的土地利用信息。福克斯河流域的结构方程模型确定了当前土地利用与河内沉积物养分过程之间的直接联系。与耕地较少的小流域相比,具有更多自然土地覆盖的农业用地小流域具有较低的地表水硝酸盐浓度和较高的反硝化酶活性。这表明在福克斯河流域实施的恢复自然土地覆盖的最佳管理实践可以通过去除农业景观和河流网络中的氮来改善水质。最佳管理方法对河网中的磷没有可测量的影响,这很可能是由于沉积物中残留的磷所致。这表明在福克斯河流域实施的恢复自然土地覆盖的最佳管理实践可以通过去除农业景观和河流网络中的氮来改善水质。最佳管理方法对河网中的磷没有可测量的影响,这很可能是由于沉积物中残留的磷所致。这表明在福克斯河流域实施的恢复自然土地覆盖的最佳管理实践可以通过去除农业景观和河流网络中的氮来改善水质。最佳管理方法对河网中的磷没有可测量的影响,这很可能是由于沉积物中残留的磷所致。
