As the world's most abundant source of terrestrial carbon, peatlands provide numerous
ecosystem services, including habitat biodiversity and freshwater quality. Land and water …

The identification of critical source areas (CSAs) is a precondition for non-point source
(NPS) pollution control at a basin scale, especially in areas with limited resources. Based on …

Despite introduction of legislation such as the EU Nitrates and Water Framework Directives
(Directives 91/676/EEC and 2000/60/EC respectively), agricultural practices are often still …

Detecting change in water quality is key to providing evidence of progress towards meeting
water quality objectives. A key measure for detecting change is statistical power. Here we …

Urban diffuse pollution affects water resources as much as its rural counterpart does;
however, it is considerably less studied. The full complexity of the urban landscape needs to …

Defining critical source areas (CSAs) of diffuse pollution in agricultural catchments depends
upon the accurate delineation of hydrologically sensitive areas (HSAs) at highest risk of …

In this paper, we analyse 4 years of data from simultaneous high‐frequency monitoring of
streamflow and phosphorus (P) concentration. This was carried out to investigate …

Context Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) exports from rural landscapes can cause
eutrophication of inland and coastal waters. Few studies have investigated the influence of …

Management of agricultural diffuse pollution to water remains a challenge and is influenced
by the complex interactions of rainfall-runoff pathways, soil and nutrient management …

Soil phosphorus (P) fertility arising from historic P inputs is a major driver of P mobilisation in
agricultural runoff and increases the risk of aquatic eutrophication. To determine the …
