An Analysis of Phosphorus Loading and Trophic State in Fletchers Lake, Nova Scotia
(2017-04-10)Fletchers Lake, Fall River, Nova Scotia, is located within a diverse watershed, and is influenced by urban stormwater runoff, wastewater discharge and on-site septic systems. Due to the lake’s multi-uses and more planned ... -
Food and Yard Waste Compost as a Nutrient Source for Corn Production
(2012-04-10)Utilizing food and yard waste (FYW) compost for plant production requires determination of application rates that support crop production, improve soil properties and avoid excessive nutrient build-up. An 88 day incubation ... -
Identifying lake water quality trends and effective monitoring strategies in a rapidly urbanizing region
(2022-12-08)Water quality degradation in freshwater lakes is widely observed and largely attributed to human activities, particularly in urban regions. The city of Halifax, NS, is among the fastest growing urban centers in Canada, ... -
Investigations into the Reactivity and Structure of Phosphinophosphonium Cations and Related Species
(2010-12-20)Carbon and phosphorus have often been compared owing to their diagonal relationship on the periodic table. However, relative to carbon, there remains an enormous breadth of polyphosphorus chemistry that is unexplored, ... -
Phosphorus Dynamics in Southwestern Nova Scotia Lakes
(2020-10-15)Eutrophication and algal blooms caused by anthropogenic sources of nutrients is an issue in freshwater systems all over Canada. Several lakes in southwestern Nova Scotia have experienced reoccurring algae blooms and possess ... -
PHOSPHORUS RETENTION IN ON-SITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS IN NOVA SCOTIA
(2015-01-26)The use of residential on-site wastewater systems (OWS) is one of the main non-point sources of phosphorus (P) loading to aquatic systems, which is the primary cause of accelerated blue-green algal growth and eutrophication ... -
Whole Farm Nutrient Budgets of Two Dairy Farms in Atlantic Canada
(2011-12-05)Whole farm nutrient budgets (WFNB) enable producers to link dairy herd management with traditional field nutrient management plans. The objective of this study was to calculate WFNBs of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ...
