Influences of land use metrics at multi-spatial scales on seasonal water quality: A case study of river systems in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China
Abstract
Abstract The impact of land use metrics on watershed water quality is scale-dependent on a seasonal - spatial basis. Exploring the associations between land use metrics and riverine water quality provides useful information for effective land use planning for water quality security, whilst, these relationships remain poorly understood. 94 water samples covering entire tributaries in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area were collected and analyzed over the time period of 2015–2016, and consequently, multivariate statistics and empirical models were used for understanding the associations between land use metrics and water quality across multi-scales. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant spatial differences in water temperature (WT), potential of hydrogen (pH), dissolved oxygen (DO), total nitrogen (TN), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), TDN/TDP, nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH4+ -N) and permanganate index (CODMn). Meanwhile, Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP), electrical conductivity (EC), DO, TN, TDN, TP, TDP, NO3−-N, NH4+-N and CODMn generally appeared higher values in the dry season. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the total explained variation of land use metrics on overall water quality was slightly stronger at catchment scale than at 100 m and 500 m buffer scales. The influence of land use metrics on water quality was a little stronger in the dry season than the wet season, but there were multi-spatial scale effects of different land use metrics. Our results can provide important information in land use planning and making multiple scales measures for water quality conservation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
