The primary objective of this effort was to compile measured annual nitrogen (N) and phosphorus
(P) load data representing field-scale transport from agricultural land uses. Only measured
annual N and P load data published in scientific peer-reviewed studies were included.
Additional criteria for inclusion were: spatial scale (field- or farm-scale, minimum 0.009 ha),
land use (homogeneous either cultivated agriculture or pasture/rangeland/hay), natural rainfall
(not rainfall simulation), and temporal scale (minimum one year).
