“…The basic statistics in Table also show great variability of environmental factors with, for example, MAP ranging from 241 mm yr −1 in Nevada, USA [ Avnimelech and McHenry , ] to 4500 mm yr −1 in a South American catchment [ Lewis and Saunders , ]. MAT varied between −8°C in Russia [ Ollesch et al ., ] and 30°C in Niger [ Esteves and Lapetite , ].…”

“…The overall effectiveness of these conservation structures, however, in cold climate regions and in reducing dissolved nutrients is much less certain (e.g., Uusi-Kamppa et al 2000;Braskerud 2002aBraskerud , 2002bKoskiaho et al 2003;Liikanen et al 2004;Braskerud et al 2005;Reinhart et al 2005;Kovacic et al 2006;Ollesch et al 2008). This is the concern in the cold, dry agricultural landscapes of the Canadian Prairies, where (1) spring snowmelt is typically the primary runoff and nutrient loading event during the year, and (2) dissolved nutrients can dominate total nutrient loads in runoff waters, in both the spring and summer (Little et al 2007;Salvano et al 2009;Tiessen et al 2010).…”

“…1, 3a, and 3b). Interannual and intra‐annual variation was noted by Ollesch et al (2008), as they found a large degree of variability in TP loss during snowmelt events. The percentage of TP transported during snow and mixed events was 18 and 30%, respectively, at Sites 2 and 28 and 32% at Site 8 (Table 1).…”

“…Studies have shown that snowmelt can be the dominant hydrologic event in a given year in agricultural systems (Hansen et al, 2000; Jamieson et al, 2003) and that the annual total P (TP) and sediment loadings during snowmelt can dominate annual loadings, yet often with large variation in interannual conditions (Ontkean et al, 2005; Ollesch et al, 2008; Stuntebeck et al, 2011). These variations result from climatic conditions, snowmelt runoff duration and volume, rainfall, and soil temperature (Su et al, 2011; Liu et al, 2013b) and agricultural activities (Stuntebeck et al, 2011).…”

Runoff of nutrients and erosion of soil from agricultural lands affect soil fertility and are important nonpoint contributors of P and N to surface and ground waters, yet studies of edge-of-field nutrient transport from snowmelt or rainfall runoff on frozen ground are limited. The objective of this study was to quantify the temporal and spatial variation in edge-of-field snowmelt, rain, and mixed (rain on snow) runoff events for sediment and P loadings in five agricultural subwatersheds over a 12-yr period. Edge-of-field runoff events from five subwatersheds at Pioneer Farm near Platteville, WI, ranging in size from approximately 4 to 30 ha were sampled using automated samplers from 2002 through 2014 to determine sediment and P yields (mass loads). Mean dissolved reactive P (DRP) runoff concentrations for each event type (rain = 1.24 mg L −1 , snow = 1.90 mg L −1 , mix = 2.23 mg L −1 ) were above total P (TP) water quality guidelines for surface waters. The percentages of TP that was DRP for snow, mixed, and rain events were 74, 84, and 39%, respectively. Although variation in total annual P yield in edge-of-field runoff was noted between years and among sites within a given year, when aggregated over the study period, the subwatersheds showed similar transport characteristics with respect to DRP and TP yield. This study highlights the importance of examining long-term datasets in quantifying annual yields and understanding the timing of DRP and TP transport for developing best management practices and improving model accuracy in cold weather agricultural systems.Abbreviations: BMP, best management practice; DRP, dissolved reactive phosphorus; TP, total phosphorus; TSS, total suspended sediment.
