1 Introduction The transport of nutrients from heavily irrigated dairy farming regions poses a critical threat to the environment, as excess nutrients from these regions contribute to the degradation of water quality of downstream water bodies and groundwater resources (Carpenter et al. 1998; Hoekstra et al. 2020; McDowell et al. 2023; Oenema and Oenema 2021).
Introduction Estuaries, which are transitional zones between the land and the sea, trap sediments and pollutants from rivers and streams and reduce the extent to which these pollutants enter the ocean. However, poor catchment management can lead to increased sediment, nutrient and pollutant loads to estuaries which can cause a decline in the health of the estuary and increase pollution export to the ocean (Dafforn et al., 2012; Statham, 2012).
Introduction Nitrogen (N) is an essential element to life and is used as a building block for proteins and nucleic acids in all terrestrial and marine organisms. The bioavailability of N, therefore, can limit primary production in both terrestrial and aquatic compartments of the biosphere (Falkowski, 1997; Falkowski et al., 2008).
