Aerial photo of one of four replicate
flumes. Each flume consists of four channels. Each channel is
100 m long and 3 m wide. (Click on image for full-sized version.)

Plan of 4-channel flume design:
(Click on image below for full-sized version.)
|
channels 3m X 100m; 1 control channel
and 3 treatment channels (+ 0.15 µM P, + 0.5 µM P, + 1.0 µM
P)

rolling channel walls keep water columns
isolated; aluminum soil flange keeps soils and macrophyte roots isolated
|
| Note to all: Distances as reported for
all data are based on where a given plot or quadrat meets the boardwalk
enumerations at its DOWNSTREAM point. (Click on image below on the left for a full-sized
