Conclusions:When riparian vegetation is maintained in areas of intensive agriculture, suspended solids levels are generally lower due to reduced in-stream organic production. Sediment deposition in near stream areas and stream bank scour are also reduced when riparian vegetation is present.Thresholds/Learnings:

Synopsis: The effects of the 17,400 ha Cerro Grande fire patch in New Mexico on erosion and sedimentation processes were analyzed by this study, located in the Jemez Mountains upstream of the Los Alamos Reservoir, New Mexico. This study provides a unique data set demonstrating post-fire erosion rates relative to pre-fire conditions. The fire affected a large fraction of the watershed, with 32% of the basin experiencing a moderate to high severity burn, including some of the steepest mountainous portions of the basin. Average sediment deposition was 150 m3/year prior to the fire, equivalent to an average basin-wide denudation rate of 0.009 mm/year. The year after the fire, over 21,800 m3 of sediment accumulated in...

Conclusions: The proportion of wetlands in the watershed at different scales affects dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in downstream lakes and rivers. Thresholds/Learnings: Synopsis: This study quantifies how the proportion of wetlands in the watershed at different scales affects dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in downstream lakes and rivers. Whether the watershed influence varies with season or hydrologic type of lake was also examined. The scaling and modelling approach used offered a useful way to examine heterogeneity of land cover types within the watershed and spatial arrangements, while allowing generality of conclusions with a large sample size. Zones of increasing distance from...
