To investigate the effects of golf course construction and operation on the water chemistry of Shield streams, we compared the water chemistry in streams draining golf courses under construction (2) and in operation (5) to streams in forested reference locations and to upstream sites where available. Streams were more alkaline and higher in base cation and nitrate concentrations downstream of operational golf courses. Levels of these parameters and total phosphorus increased over time in several streams during golf course construction through to operation. There was evidence of inputs of mercury to streams on two of the operational courses. Nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) concentrations were significantly related to the area of unmanaged vegetation in a 30 x 30 m area on either side of the sampling sites, and to River Bank Quality Index scores, suggesting that maintaining vegetated buffers along the stream on golf courses will reduce in-stream nutrient concentrations.
为了研究高尔夫球场建设和运营对希尔兹溪流的水化学性质的影响，我们将正在建设（2个）和运营中（5个）的高尔夫球场排水溪流中的水化学性质，与森林参考地点的溪流以及可获取的上游地点的溪流进行了比较。运营中的高尔夫球场下游的溪流碱性更强，碱金属阳离子和硝酸盐浓度更高。在高尔夫球场建设直至运营期间，这些参数以及总磷的水平在几条溪流中随时间增加。在两个运营中的球场的溪流中有汞输入的迹象。营养物质（磷和氮）浓度与采样点两侧30×30米区域内未管理植被的面积以及河岸质量指数得分显著相关，这表明在高尔夫球场上沿着溪流保持植被缓冲带将降低溪流中的营养物质浓度。
