comprehensive assessment of watershed N loads (i.e., N deposition and inputs) in
China, identifying effective approaches that yield positive benefits for both air and
water quality remains a high priority for lake ecosystem management. For example,
nonpoint pollution sources from croplands and livestock systems should be paid
much attention to synchronously reduce the fluxes of atmospheric deposition and
riverine inputs, because a recent stable isotope mixing model (Ti et al. 2018b)
indicated that volatilized fertilizer and animal excreta contributed more than 65%
to precipitation NH 4
+
-N, more than 60% to particulate NH 4
+
-N, and more than 75%
to gaseous NH 3 -N.
