The Nitrates Directive regulations are a Programme of Measures under the EU Water
Framework Directive to protect waters from agricultural transfers of nitrogen and …

Understanding controls of P movement through watersheds are essential for improved
landscape management in intensively managed regions. Here, we analyze observational …

Reducing legacy soil phosphorus (P) is recognised as an effective measure to mitigate
diffuse P losses from agricultural landscapes and alleviate trophic pressure to freshwaters …

Various scales of input data exist to parameterise diffuse pollution models for the UK. For
screening methodologies such as the phosphorus indicators tool—PIT [Heathwaite, AL …

The water quality response to implementation of conservation measures across watersheds
has been slower and smaller than expected. This has led many to question the efficacy of …

Accelerated losses of P from intensively managed farmland can contribute to eutrophication
problems in fresh waters, and improved nutrient and land management practices may be …

Characterization of phosphorus (P) sources in catchments is critical to the restoration of
stream integrity following eutrophication. To better understand the effects of farming …

This paper provides an overview of the impacts of rural land use on lowland streamwater
phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations and P loads and sources in lowland …

Agriculture is a major source of P to the aquatic environment in many countries. Although
efforts have been made to improve the P utilization in agricultural production, which is …

We hypothesise that climate change, together with intensive agricultural systems, will
increase the transfer of pollutants from land to water and impact on stream health. This study …
