About this Research Topic
Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are essential for plant growth. However, excessive, or inadequate application of these nutrients can lead to degradation of water quality and biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of nutrient transport dynamics is crucial for anticipating and preventing the effects on water quality and fluvial ecosystems.
The objective of this Research Topic is to gather and disseminate up-to-date and relevant scientific information on the processes that affect nutrient transport at the catchment scale, and how these processes impact water quality. Specifically, we are interested in long-term studies that advance our understanding of the interactions between nutrient dynamics, rainfall patterns and hydrological processes, land use changes, and climate change. We welcome contributions that explore the use of innovative methodologies and tools, such as remote sensing, modelling, and machine learning, for assessing nutrient transport and management at different scales.
