Abstract
Local and regional patterns in the organic content of sediments in the surficial aquifer, as reflected in topography and land use, control dissolved oxygen and nitrate concentrations in ground water that recharged through agricultural fields and flowed beneath riparian woodlands. Dissolved oxygen and nitrate concentrations decreased beneath the woodlands as a result of changes in the organic content of the sediments that resulted from deposition of the sediments, not the current presence of riparian woodlands.
