• Abstract:
  The Florida Department of Transportation has taken steps to reduce the amount of phosphorus and the time release of fertilizer compounds in all of its operations. Consequently, there may be a reduction in the mass of phosphorus being released to adjacent water bodies. This research project aims to provide a scientific basis for quantifying the reduction in nutrient losses from highway slopes due to changes in fertilization practices.
