NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Watershed Management Bureau Biology Section: Lake Trophic Survey Environmental Monitoring data, 1995-2014
This program was initially established in 1975 in order to identify the trophic state of NH lakes and ponds, as required by Section 314(a) of PL 92-500 (the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972). The purpose of the program is to determine lake trophic class and monitor physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters. Each year, 40 different lakes and ponds are surveyed, once in the summer and once in the winter. The surveys are comprehensive physical, chemical and biological surveys, including electronic depth soundings, macrophyte identifications and abundance ratings, shoreline bacteria sampling and at the deep spot a temperature/dissolved oxygen/percent saturation profile, Secchi disk transparency reading, samples for chlorophyll, Ca, Mg Na, and K in the upper water layer, phytoplankton and zooplankton net hauls for identification and counts and discrete water samples at two or three depths for pH, acid neutralization capacity, apparent color, conductivity, TP, Total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrite+nitrate nitrogen, chloride, and sulfate. The surveys are designed to assess current baseline conditions and compliance with water quality criteria, identify the lake’s trophic status, determine acid rain impacts and the existence of exotic aquatic plants and provide information for gross long-term trend analyses.
NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Watershed Management Bureau Biology Section: Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP) Environmental Monitoring data, 1995-2014
The New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment Program was initiated in 1985 in response to an expressed desire of lake associations to be involved in lake protection and watershed management. VLAP is a cooperative program between volunteer monitors and the DES which leads to local awareness of land use and human practices that may be detrimental to lake quality and also empowers communities in their decision-making regarding lake management issues. The three major partners are the NHDES Biology Section, numerous volunteer monitors located throughout the state, and the VLAP satellite laboratories. Sara Steiner, NHDES VLAP Coordinator (who reports directly to Jody Connor, the Limnology Center Director and VLAP Program Manager), has the overall responsibility for training the volunteer monitors throughout the state in sample collection and watershed monitoring, conducting annual site visits and training interns to conduct annual site visits. NHDES and the volunteer monitors will collect samples from their lake/pond and its watershed, and will then bring samples to the NHDES Limnology Center, the Lake Sunapee Region Laboratory at Colby Sawyer College in New London, or the Environmental Research Laboratory at Plymouth State University in Plymouth. The purpose of VLAP is to assess the chemical and biological characteristics of the lakes and ponds throughout the state to determine overall health of the system. Environmental results are measured by making comparisons to established means and ranges of water quality for the state of New Hampshire. Chemical, biological, and physical parameters are measured and compared to lakes throughout the state. This data is provided to NHDES and the volunteer monitors. The data is used by the NHDES for assessment, education, and reporting purposes. The data are used by the volunteer monitors for educational purposes and for guiding local lake management activities. Volunteers collect water at least once per month during the summer (June –
Data from: An ecosystem services perspective on brush management: research priorities for competing land use objectives
1. The vegetation of semi-arid and arid landscapes is often comprised of mixtures of herbaceous and woody vegetation. Since the early 1900s, shifts from herbaceous to woody plant dominance, termed woody plant encroachment and widely regarded as a state change, have occurred world-wide. This shift presents challenges to the conservation of grassland and savanna ecosystems and to animal production in commercial ranching systems and pastoral societies. 2. Dryland management focused on cattle and sheep grazing has historically attempted to reduce the abundance of encroaching woody vegetation (hereafter, 'brush management') with the intent of reversing declines in forage production, stream flow or groundwater recharge. Here, we assess the known and potential consequences of brush management actions, both positive and negative, on a broader suite of ecosystem services, the scientific challenges to quantifying these services and the trade-offs among them. 3. Our synthesis suggests that despite considerable investments accompanying the application of brush management practices, the recovery of key ecosystem services may be short-lived or absent. However, in the absence of such interventions, those and other ecosystem services may be compromised, and the persistence of grassland and savanna ecosystem types and their endemic plants and animals threatened. 4. Addressing the challenges posed by woody plant encroachment will require integrated management systems using diverse theoretical principles to design the type, timing and spatial arrangement of initial management actions and follow-up treatments. These management activities will need to balance cultural traditions and preferences, socio-economic constraints and potentially competing land-use objectives. 5. Synthesis. Our ability to predict ecosystem responses to management aimed at recovering ecosystem services where grasslands and savannas have been invaded by native or exotic woody plants is limited for many attributes (e.g. primary production, land surface–atmosphere interactions, biodiversity conservation) and inconsistent for others (e.g. forage production, herbaceous diversity, water quality/quantity, soil erosion, carbon sequestration). The ecological community is challenged with generating robust information about the response of ecosystem services and their interactions if we are to position land managers and policymakers to make objective, science-based decisions regarding the many trade-offs and competing objectives for the conservation and dynamic management of grasslands and savannas.
Data from: Soil management shapes ecosystem service provision and trade-offs in agricultural landscapes
Agroecosystems are principally managed to maximize food provisioning even if they receive a large array of supporting and regulating ecosystem services (ESs). Hence, comprehensive studies investigating the effects of local management and landscape composition on the provision of and trade-offs between multiple ESs are urgently needed. We explored the effects of conservation tillage, nitrogen fertilization and landscape composition on six ESs (crop production, disease control, soil fertility, water quality regulation, weed and pest control) in winter cereals. Conservation tillage enhanced soil fertility and pest control, decreased water quality regulation and weed control, without affecting crop production and disease control. Fertilization only influenced crop production by increasing grain yield. Landscape intensification reduced the provision of disease and pest control. We also found tillage and landscape composition to interactively affect water quality regulation and weed control. Under N fertilization, conventional tillage resulted in more trade-offs between ESs than conservation tillage. Our results demonstrate that soil management and landscape composition affect the provision of several ESs and that soil management potentially shapes the trade-offs between them
