| Zusammenfassung: | Compost mulches have potential to significantly offset on- and off-site environmental impacts resulting from mechanical soil disturbances and training manoeuvres on military training ranges. N and P transport was investigated in runoff from compost mulch berms made from various organic waste materials in combination with each other and with soil on a simulated military training landscape in north Alabama in 2007 and 2008. Berms were constructed using composted municipal yard waste (YW), wood chips (WC), pine bark fines (PB), and soil (SL) mixed in eight different proportions. Berms made from 100% soil which had a cumulative runoff PO(4)-P content of 12 mg L(-1) posed the greatest threat of negatively impacting the environment from inorganic P transport. Using compost mulch material with 40% soil to build berms reduced the potential for yard waste and wood chips to cause off-site negative environmental impacts from total dissolved solids, N, and P transport. Berms made from 100% pine bark fines which had cumulative runoff values of 760, 9, 22 and 5 mg L( -1), respectively, of TDS, NH(4)-N, NO(3)-N, and PO( 4)-P had the least potential to cause negative off-site environmental impact. To prevent negative impacts of nutrient transport in runoff from berms on training landscapes, the sites need to be well buffered to hydrologically isolate them from adjoining ecosystems |
