Identification of anthropogenic parameters for a regional nitrogen balance model via field investigation of six ecosystems in China
To evaluate the impact of human behavior (with regard food consumption, waste disposal and farming method) on nitrogen flow, a field investigation was conducted in six typical ecosystems in China. A number of parameters for regional nitrogen balance models were identified during the investigation. T...
