| Research Abstract |
We investigated nutrients runoff (Suspended solid material, SS; Total nitrogen, TN; Nitrate, NO3 -) from a forested, mountainous catchment in the Shimanto River headwaters, comparing among “event”(total rainfall below 200 mm), “storm event” (total rainfall 200 ～ 300 mm) and “extreme storm event“(total rainfall 742 mm in 18-19 July, 2011). The vegetation of the experimental catchment (73ha), underlying sedimentary rock, is a secondary forest of predominantly evergreen trees. Stream water was collected every two hours using an automatic water sampler for 6 flood events (total rainfall 53 ～ 742 mm). TN runoff during “extreme storm event” (about 5 kg ha-1 yr-1) is equaled to the averaged value of annual TN runoff (4.9 kg ha-1 yr-1) reported by previous studies. The proportion of NO3 --N to TN for specific cumulative output drastically decreased from 28 ～76 % in “event” and“storm event” to 2 % in “extreme storm event”. It revealed definitely that particulate matter runoff overwhelmingly more than dissolved matter for nitrogen during “extreme storm event”.
