Human activity controls nitrogen loads in a large sub-tropical delta from 2000 to 2020. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 213, Article 108021. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2024.108021

Nitrogen (N) is crucial for agricultural yield, but its overuse in fertilisation and presence in uncollected wastewater from urbanization causes eutrophication. The Red River Delta in Vietnam is facing rapidly increasing water quality issues. Here, M... Read More about Human activity controls nitrogen loads in a large sub-tropical delta from 2000 to 2020.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 11, Article 1250889. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2023.1250889

Inland waters are highways of carbon and nutrient flows between the land and ocean. Aquatic environments integrate multiple sources and processes over space and time that influence ecosystem functionality. The complexity of these systems and their mu...

Journal of Hydrology, 628, Article 130467. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2023.130467

In many places around the world, anthropogenic activities have resulted in nitrate (NO3−) pollution and changes in the metabolic state of aquatic ecosystems. Here we combined stable isotope and physico-chemical monitoring to assess the sources of NO3...
