Summary of nutrient budgets for the Changjiang drainage basin, taking into consideration of major pathways.

Caption

Major source and sink terms are compared and summarized for anthropogenic nutrients (i.e. N and P) based on expeditions and data compilation in the literature for the period of 2003-2015. In comparison to the retention of nutrients in the watersheds, seaward riverine flux is rather minor.
