Drainage systems are integral parts of agricultural landscapes and have the ability to intercept nutrient loading from runoff to surface water. This study investigated nutrient removal efficiency within replicated experimental agricultural drainage ditches during a simulated summer runoff event. Study objectives were to examine the influence of routine mowing of vegetated ditches on nutrient mitigation and to assess spatial transformation of nutrients along ditch length. Both mowed and unmowed…

Phosphorus dynamics in agricultural drainage ditches: An influence of landscape properties
Excessive loading of phosphorus (P) into aquatic systems from adjacent terrestrial ecosystems often results in eutrophication and subsequent degradation of aquatic resources. This study investigated…
Study on nitrogen removal from rice paddy field drainage by interaction of plant species and hydraulic conditions in eco-ditches
TLDR
Results showed that ammonia volatilization and plant uptake contributed little to N removal, and both the flow rate and the TN concentration had a strong negative correlation with the N removal rate.

TLDR
Long-term sampling incorporating data on application and loss of fertilizers and farm management will provide critical information for farmers and scientists on the potential of economic gains and downstream ecosystem eutrophication, respectively.
