Measuring nutrients fluxes in watersheds with different landuse is important for evaluating the effects of conversion of native forests to agricultural land, and for establishing guidelines for land management. Nitrogen (N) concentrations and fluxes were studied over a 12-month period in four watersheds in the Lake Rupanco basin in the Andean Cordillera and four watersheds located in the Lake Huillinco basin in the Coastal Cordillera of southern Chile. Two watersheds in either lake basins were covered mainly by native rainforests, and the other two had mixed landuse (livestock pastures, subsistence agriculture and shrub-pasture mixtures). In the Lake Rupanco area, the annual transport of NO3-N from forested and agricultural watersheds was 4.9 and 11.0 kg... |
