Grand Lake St. Marys Watershed in northwestern Ohio is the second most toxic drinking water source in the U.S. due to persistent harmful algal blooms, leading to a state of Ohio distressed watershed designation in 2011. A suite of best management and conservation practices have been implemented across the watershed, including wetland restoration. This study investigated nutrient processing by one restored, >40-acre wetland along the Burntwood Creek tributary. We report on tradeoffs between nutrient removal/sequestration and greenhouse gas production.
