The effects of forest on stream water quality in two coastal plain watersheds of the Chesapeake Bay

Forest had varying effects on stream nutrients in two coastal plain basins of the Delmarva Peninsula, USA. In the Choptank basin, forest was strongly associated with low stream total nitrogen (TN) and nitrate (NO 3 −) concentrations ( r 2∼0.70), and forest placement along first order streams was imp...
