In order to evaluate the effects of different slope lengths (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 m) and different vegetation coverage ratios (20%, 45%, 60%, and 90%) on the mechanisms of nutrient loss and runoff producing processes, we have conducted 14 simulated rainfall experiments. The results show that N and P loss are decided by the concentration and the runoff volume, but when the amounts of N and P in topsoil are small, their loss content mostly depends on runoff volume. Dissolved nitrogen is the main form in the nitrogen loss, while nitrate nitrogen is the main component in dissolved nitrogen, but the proportion in the total nitrogen gradually decreases with slope length increasing or with the increase of vegetation cover; the main form of phosphorus losses is particulate phosphorus, and the excessive sediment-bound nutrient loss released into water might cause secondary pollution of an aquatic environment.
The study focuses on how land use in the selected location affects the amount of phosphorus in the watershed. Defines the basic concepts of this and related issues. The monitored value is total phosphorus and description of the measuring apparatus. The resulting data are arranged in tables and graphs and results are compared with standards of Czech norms (CSN) and other similar studies.
