Road salt poses a threat to the quality of soils and water resources. Wetlands located in contaminated areas are at risk experiencing lower plant animal species diversity. Therefore, it is critical understand how modifications application rates hydrological events impact wetland quality. Here, we use chloride mass flux, discharge, groundwater concentration, meteorological, data from 2012-2020 estimate accumulation outflux Kampoosa Bog subwatersheds, Stockbridge Lee, Massachusetts, bordered by major highways (Interstate-90 U.S. Route 7). We also investigate correlation between size retention rate. During 2018-2019 period, mean annual watershed increased 363000 kg/year (2012-2017) 479000 kg/year. This led net (KB100 subwatershed: 339000 kg; KB150 188000 kg) concentrations fen. Chloride these subwatersheds was primarily driven discharge. found that relationship percent cover complex. Although greater KB100 main region compared subwatershed, high precipitation 2018 resulted similar efficiencies (~26%). drier year (2019), higher due its gentle slopes which promote consequently evaporation lowers discharge outfluxes.
