Abstract
Twenty-seven forested watersheds in northern West Virginia were sampled for stream nitrate concentrations during summer 1997 and fall 1998 baseflow periods to determine if Fernow watershed 4, an often-cited and studied nitrogen saturated basin, was anomalous or regionally representative in terms of stream nitrate levels. Baseflow stream NO3-N concentrations ranged from 0.005 to 1.54 mg L-1, with nearly half of the streams being higher than Fernow 4 in both summer and fall. Variations in stream nitrate were related to basin geology, whereas no direct effects of basin physiography could be established. It was concluded that Fernow 4 was representative of regional stream nitrate concentrations and the majority of the watersheds surveyed showed similar signs of nitrogen saturation.
