7.4. Summary<br />

The information derived in this work is applied to the three study areas in Jacksonville.<br />

Each of the methods is an independent statistical analysis all be it on the same database.<br />

The results of the four methods are, within reason, in agreement. For the Lake Shore area<br />

based on the hierarchal linear regression the denitrification rate is estimated to be<br />

7.59 Kg N ha<br />

be 8.46 Kg N ha<br />

d<br />

. Using the Monte Carlo method the denitrification rate is estimated to<br />

−1<br />

, with minimum possible value of 0.00<br />

maximum possible value of 11.74 Kg N ha<br />

value of 4.588 Kg N ha<br />

obtained so far. Based on results from the ANN the denitrification rate is estimated at<br />
