Hi everyone-<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your wonderful response to my request for nitrogen-related fact sheets. I posted nearly 30 links to nitrogen-related fact sheets at:
\nhttp:\/\/www.usawaterquality.org\/volunteer\/GuideForGrowing\/Publications.html#N<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a few other requests for creating similar publications listings. So, I’d again like to ask for your help in locating online publications, this time about studies relating various parameters of land use\/land cover in a watershed (e.g., percent forested cover, road density, % of wetlands filled or disconnected from streams) to aquatic ecosystem integrity (e.g., IBI’s), providing information that might be helpful to communities doing land-use planning\/zoning.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help with this!<\/p>\n

Kris<\/p>\n

Carolyn and Kris,
\nI missed the second part of the original post.
\nThe Maryland Biological Stream Survey, and the volunteer component,
\nStream Waders, compute IBIs and do land use analysis with respect to the
\nIBIs.\u00a0 See the publications.<\/p>\n

Kris,
\nYou could check the Source Water Assessment Reports we prepared for major water suppliers in RI. The assessment method uses a number of watershed pollution risk indicators derived from land use, soils and other GIS coverages. Results are availalbe as full reports, factsheets and maps at:<\/p>\n

Kris,
\nI’ve got a few scans on my website:
\nhttp:\/\/www.lmvp.org\/documents.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

These papers will be regarding reservoirs and not streams.<\/p>\n

Of particular interest may be these:
\nRole of land cover and hydrology in determining nutrients in mid-continent reservoirs: implications for nutrient criteria and management. Jones, J.R., M.F. Knowlton, D.V. Obrecht. 2007. Lake and Reserv. Manage. (in press).<\/p>\n

Jones, J.R. and M.F. Knowlton. 2005. Suspended solids in Missouri reservoirs in relation to catchment features and internal processes. Water Research 39: 3629-3635.<\/p>\n

Jones, J.R., M.F. Knowlton, D.V. Obrecht and E.A. Cook. 2004 . Importance of landscape variables and morphology on nutrients in Missouri Reservoirs. Can. J. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 61: 1503-1512.<\/p>\n

I just put up one stream paper that you should find useful:
\nPerkins, Bruce D., K. Lohman, E. Van Nieuwenhuyse and J.R. Jones. 1998. An examination of land cover and stream water quality among physiographic provinces of Missouri, USA. Verh. Internat. Verein. Limnol.26: 940-947<\/p>\n

And I like to get the word on on this one, because it uses volunteer data without it being regarded as a novelty. It’s only tangentially relevant to your land use search, however.:
\nObrecht, D.V., A.P. Thorpe and J.R. Jones. 2005. Responses in the James River Arm of Table Rock Lake, Missouri (USA) to point-source phosphorus reduction. Verh. Internat. Verein. Limnol. 29: 1043-1048.<\/p>\n

All of these papers are on the page linked at the beginning of this email.<\/p>\n

Good luck!
\nTony<\/p>\n
