Nonpoint Source Pollution with Nitrogen and Phosphorus
The Ecological Society of America (ESA), the nation's leading professional society of ecological scientists, is an essential source of information for those addressing the many complex tasks associated with watershed management. Since 1997, Issues in Ecology, has been an especially useful resource for citizens, resource managers, policymakers, and others designing and implementing watershed approaches to environmental management. Each Issues in Ecology paper is designed to report, in language understandable by non-scientists, the consensus of a panel of scientific experts on issues relevant to the environment.
Number 3 (Summer 1998): Nonpoint Pollution of Surface Waters with Phosphorus and Nitrogen
A full suite of Issues in Ecology is available on the ESA website.
You can also learn more on the basics of nutrient pollution (the problem, sources and solutions, effects, etc.) on EPA’s Nutrient Pollution website.
