Interpretive Summary

Nutrient Losses from Sloping Lands as Affected by Rain Intensity and Fertilizer Placement in Sichuan, 2008 This project continues to address nutrient management on crops grown on Sichuan’s sloping farmlands during the summer rainy season.

Nutrient Losses from Sloping Lands in Sichuan as Affected by Rainfall Intensity and Fertilizer Rates, 2007 This project has addressed nutrient management on sloping farmlands during the summer rainy season since 2006. In recent years, nutrient losses through soil run-off and leaching, and non-point environmental pollution sources to both surface and underground waters, have become an increasing societal concern.

Nutrient Losses from Sloping Lands as Affected by Rain Intensity and Cropping Patterns in Sichuan, 2006 Nutrient losses through soil runoff and leaching are blamed for non-point environment pollution of surface water and groundwater, and this issue has become a major societal concern. However, how and what proportions of applied nutrients are being transported from sloping lands to water sources is not well understood.
