Abstract

âº This study updated the historical dynamics of N and P in the Yangtze River. âº The spatial patterns of N and P were characterized at a large basin. âº The causal factors were quantified to study their periodical contributions. âº The development of policy was addressed to explore the causes of NPS pollution. âº An IECM-RUSLE model was proposed for simulating NPS in a large basin.
