Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutrient losses in agricultural watersheds have negative impacts on both water quality and ecosystems. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt soil and water management practices that can significantly mitigate nutrient losses in agricultural watersheds and minimize their negative impacts. Considering this challenge, we call for articles on the following topics: (1) The mechanisms of nutrient transport in agricultural watersheds. (2) Methods for the quantitative assessment of nutrient losses in agricultural watersheds. (3) The damages caused by nutrient losses in agricultural watersheds. (4) Practices that can be used for mitigating nutrient losses in agricultural watersheds, including conservation tillage, cover crops, precision agriculture, etc.
