“…In this study, the end member isotopic signatures of M & S, NF, NFA, and NS were based on other relevant studies (rather than measured directly in this study). In addition, sources from manure and sewage, as well as nitrate derived from NH 4 + fertilizer and rainfall, were difficult to distinguish. Moreover, the posterior distributions of the output have a large range, and dynamic varieties of nitrate source contributions at finer time scales should be further studied.…”
