Multifunctional perennial landscape: small farm design in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed
… and Biomass Production for Small Farmers in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed (USRW)”. Spearheaded by Dr. Sarah Taylor Lovell, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, this long-term project pursues multiple objectives which seek to understand the complex social and ecological …

Suspended sediment supply dominated by channel processes in a low-gradient agricultural watershed, Wildcat Slough, Fisher, IL, USA
Nutrient loading in rivers in the Upper Sangamon River Basin has led to concentrations of nitrate that exceed EPA water quality standards and concentrations of phosphorous that promote algal growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous are primarily introduced by fertilization and transported via leaching …

Identifying targets for multifunctional perennial cropping systems implementation through a landowner adoption preferences survey and a spatial suitability analysis
… through an agricultural landowner survey in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed (USRW) in Illinois, USA. We identified adoption preferences among landowners in conjunction with socio-demographic characteristics that would facilitate targeted implementation. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and …

The design and implementation of multifunctional woody polycultures: Landowner preferences and pathways to improve agricultural conservation
… engaged with 15 rural landowners within the Upper Sangamon River Watershed of Central Illinois to identify the design preferences, information needs, and adoption potential of MWPs, as well as identify pathways for improving agricultural conservation programs. Landowner-specific designs were …

Understanding the relationship between agricultural nutrients NPS, land management, and climate using distributed hydrologic models
… Second, different types of N NPS patterns in the Upper Sangamon River Basin (USRB), a highly cultivated watershed, under wet and dry future climate projections were compared when implementing different land management practices at the field-level scale. Finally, the risks of HAB occurrence and the …

Analysis of sediment dynamics in intensively managed landscapes
… analysis and modeling exploration in the Upper Sangamon River Basin, Illinois. The relative contributions from cropland, grassland, forested floodplain, upper grazed floodplain, and lower grazed floodplain to the suspended sediment in the stream are evaluated by sediment fingerprinting …

Diagnostic analysis of runoff partitioning at the catchment scale
… basin with extensive tile drains, The Upper Sangamon River basin located in central Illinois. It is found that there is a carry-over of nitrogen storage from dry years to wet years, and this is mainly caused by the loading of NO3-N from the hillslope to the channel by way of tile …
