Abstract: The rising food production to meet the growing human population has led to increased anthropogenic inputs of nutrients such as NO3- in groundwater and aquatic environments. Nitrate concentrations, hydrochemistry, and isotope data (δ18O-H2O, δ2H-H2O, 15N-NO3,… read more here.

Abstract: Nitrate pollution is of considerable global concern as a threat to human health and aquatic ecosystems. Nowadays, δ15N/δ18O-NO3- combined with a Bayesian-based SIAR model are widely used to identify riverine nitrate sources. However, little is… read more here.
