Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of excess nitrogen in both groundwater and surface water is a common occurrence in agriculturally dominated areas. Increased levels of nitrogen in groundwater can pose a significant risk to human health when groundwater is used, for example, as a source of drinking water. Nitrogen can be transported from agricultural fields via surface and subsurface pathways and can impact the quality of downgradient aquatic ecosystems such as streams, lakes, and coastal waters.
In this Special Issue, contributions covering a wide range of topics related to the impacts of agricultural practices on nitrogen levels at both local and watershed scales are welcomed. Thus, examples of contributions include, but are not limited to, the impacts of fertilizers, irrigation, agricultural operations, crop species, weather, and climate on agriculturally sourced nitrogen fluxes in the subsurface. Aside from being scientifically sound and relevant to the Special Issue topic, contributions must highlight the new insights and/or novelty of the study, as well as the relevance to the topic.
