Abstract
Riparian wetlands, located adjacent to streams and rivers, buffer nutrient movement from runoff and impact downstream water quality. Soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) is a plant-available, water-soluble form of inorganic phosphorus. Phosphorus (P) can be a limiting nutrient in freshwater ecosystems; an excess can result in a cascade of ecological disturbances. Riparian wetlands serve as either a sink or source of SRP. Understanding P movement in restored riparian wetlands can help remediation efforts and mitigate P pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of aerobic and anaerobic conditions on SRP dynamics in flooded, restored riparian wetland soils.
