Little information is broadly available on the fate and transport of dissolved phosphorus (DP) in streams draining agricultural and urban catchments, although in-stream processes might have a substantial influence on downstream transport.  This study evaluated sediment-water P equilibrium concentrations (EPC₀), sediment Mehlich 3 extractable elements and water chemistry across over 20 Ozark streams draining catchments with mixed land uses.  These data are currently be analyzed, but initial results show that sediment EPC₀ were variable among sites and that sediment Mehlich 3 P was low compared to soil Mehlich 3 P content typical of Ozark pastures.
