Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope A rapid increase in anthropogenic nitrogen inputs has a strong impact on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We have estimated
net anthropogenic nitrogen accumulation (NANA) as an index of nitrogen (N) pollution potential in the Beijing metropolitan
region, China. Our research provides a basis for understanding the potential impact of anthropogenic N inputs on environmental
problems, such as nation-wide water quality degradation under the current rapid urban expansion in modern China. |
