National Nutrient, Soil, & Carbon Losses
Read the Flyer | Download the NNLSC Database
The nutrient loss database is a catalog of databases and tools developed to aid our understanding of physical processes occurring on U.S cropland. It contains land use and management patterns, site characteristics, and estimates of water and nutrient cycling, soil loss, nutrient loss, and the change in soil organic carbon over time for hundreds of thousands of cropland situations. Because it combines the diversity of the natural resources employed in agriculture with the variety of management practices in use, the nutrient loss database is a powerful aid in evaluating the relationships between agricultural practices and the resulting impacts upon carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus fluxes.
