From soil to river: revealing the mechanisms underlying the high riverine nitrate levels in a forest dominated catchment

S Li, H Jiang, W Guo, W Zhang, Q Zhang - Water Research, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Elevated riverine nitrate (NO 3−) levels have led to increased eutrophication and
other ecological implications. While high riverine NO 3− levels were generally ascribed to …
