EM Description
Summary Description

AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION: "In addition to affecting water quality, the ecosystem services of nitrogen retention, phosphorous retention, and sediment retention were also considered to contribute to stakeholder goals of maintaining the productivity of agricultural land and reducing soil loss. Two additional metrics, nitrogen fixation and rates of carbon sequestration into soil and sediment, were also calculated as potential measures of soil quality and agricultural productivity. Carbon sequestration and nitrogen fixation rates were assigned to each land cover class, applying the mean of rates for natural sub-tropical ecosystems obtained from the literature." |
