Spatiotemporal characteristics of nonpoint source nutrient loads and their impact on river water quality in Yancheng city, China, simulated by an improved export coefficient model coupled with grid-based runoff calculations

Accurately quantifying the spatiotemporal nutrient loads from nonpoint sources (NPSs) is still difficult due to the high spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability in rainfall-runoff processes. The export coefficient model (ECM) is a widely used tool to estimate the NPS nutrient load on an annua...
