Dear researcher, professor, practician, Hydrologist
my name is Ali, I am a student of Gifu university. my research is comparison two small catchment with different vegetation types in central Japan. one part of my research is water quality.
I was measure water quality from broadleaf deciduous and evergreen coniferous forest. and one of my parameters in dissolved oxygen (DO).
based on my data, DO in coniferous evergreen is always lower than in broadleaf deciduous. who knows the reason?
I try to connect with baseflow data because baseflow in coniferous evergreen is lower than broadleaf deciduous. but some literature said groundwater have low DO.
based on my data, DO in coniferous evergreen is always lower than in broadleaf deciduous. who knows the reason?
Thank you very much for your help
Yes, I have small catchment. And in downstream of each catchment I measure DO. Vegetation of the catchment one is coniferous, other is broadleaf
In Canadian boreal coniferous forests, acidification is be one cause of lower DO. See David W. Shindler's 1998 paper in Bioscience 48 (3), and his 1971 paper Light, temperature and oxygen regimes of selected lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area, northwestern Ontario. Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada 28: 157-169, among others.
Thank you very much, Dr. Ali Hussein and Dr.Jo-Anne Joyce. I get the point and match with the pH data.
