Climate variability and extremes, interacting with nitrogen storage, amplify eutrophication risk

Abstract Despite 30 years of basin‐wide nutrient‐reduction efforts, severe hypoxia continues to be observed in the Chesapeake Bay. Here we demonstrate the critical influence of climate variability, interacting with accumulated nitrogen (N) over multidecades, on Susquehanna River dissolved nitrogen (...
