Citation: Zhou, D., Bi, C., Chen, Z., Yu, Z., Wang, J., & Han, J. (2013). Phosphorus loads from different urban storm runoff sources in southern China: a case study in Wenzhou City. Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
Study description: This study investigated 6 different source areas and the phosphorus concentrations in the runoff from each. This study looked at runoff from: main road, parking lot, community road, roof, lawn and at a stormwater outlet.

Cause term/trajectory: Land use/land cover - urban (Change)
Cause description: Different source areas - main road, parking lot, community road, roof, lawn and at a stormwater outlet.
Effect term/trajectory: Water quality - nutrients (phosphorus) (Change)
Effect description: Changed Total Phosphorus (TP) and Particulate Phosphorus (PP). Main road runoff had the highest TP and PP event mean concentrations (EMCs) (2.5 and 2.43mg/L respectively). The lowest TP and PP EMCs was in the roof runoff.
Response measure type: Other
Response measure description: Event mean concentrations.

Source data: Field
Study type: Observation
Study design: After impact only
Number of independent control or reference sampling units: 2
Sample size used in analysis: 641
Design description: Two study areas (Jiushanwai River and Shanxia River). 6 surface area types and 5 rainfall events sampled (at 5 min intervals).
