Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrient pollution in watersheds has become a significant environmental concern worldwide, leading to the eutrophication of water bodies and the degradation of aquatic ecosystems. The overall aim of this Special Issue is to advance our understanding of watershed-scale nutrient management by exploring the current concepts and practices in the field, as well as highlighting the emerging treatment approaches that hold promise for managing nutrient pollution.

The Special Issue addresses a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, nutrient management strategies, water quality monitoring and modelling, policy and governance frameworks, and case studies showcasing the successful implementation of nutrient management practices. We encourage submissions that delve into the interdisciplinary aspects of watershed-scale nutrient management, bridging the gap between different scientific domains and addressing the complex challenges faced in this field.

This Special Issue will provide a valuable contribution by consolidating the latest cutting-edge research findings on watershed-scale nutrient management. It will serve as a platform to showcase the emerging concepts and innovative strategies and technologies being employed to address this issue, while fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and stimulating further research in this critical area.

This study was the first attempt to identify the sources of total oxidized nitrogen (TON) and inorganic phosphorus (IP) in the water of the Selenga River—the main tributary of Lake Baikal. To identify TON and IP sources, the data on nutrient concentrations in water of Selenga River and its tributaries as well as the data on river runoff were collected and mapped. On the basis of the obtained data, the values of TON and IP exported from different parts of Selenga watershed were evaluated and mapped using geospatial techniques. In addition, critical source areas (CSAs) which accumulate soil pollutants from nonpoint pollution sources and release them into the surface water during storm events were identified in most polluted watershed areas. It was found that the values of TON exports in most parts of the Selenga watershed varied in the range 0–50 kg/km2/yr, whereas the values of IP exports varied in the range 0–5 kg/km2/yr. Obtained data on TON export were in agreement with those obtained earlier by foreign researchers using global models of nutrient export, whereas data on IP exports were two times higher than those previously modelled.
