Abstract Although considered a sink of nutrients, limited information exists to verify phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) retention in drainage networks such as ditches and canals. Nutrient retention within two ditches on a cattle ranch in the greater Everglades region was measured using in-situ mesocosms. Phosphorus and N concentrations of water inside the mesocosms were increased or decreased to evaluate the effect of P and N concentration on P and N flux across the sediment-water interface… Expand
