The AnnAGNPS model (Annualized Non-Point Source Pollution Model) is applied to analyze the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of agricultural non-point source pollutant loading in Zhangxi Watershed. The spatial database and attribute database of non-point source pollution is then established. Our result shows that in spatial scale, absorbed nitrogen has great spatial heterogeneity, while dissolved phosphorus's heterogeneity is relatively small. The pollutant loading in orchard and woodland is smaller than that in farmland; paddy soil's is larger compared to those in yellow and red soil. In temporal scale, over 55% of the pollutant loading happens in flood season. There is only 4% in dry season.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
