Abstract

Closing watershed nitrogen budgets is difficult because inputs typically far exceed outputs. A leading hypothesis to explain this discrepancy is that retention is poorly constrained because a disproportionate amount of denitrification occurs in small portions of the landscape (hot spots) during brief hydrologic conditions (hot moments).
