Description:

"In this study, we use an open-source version of the Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (OpenNSPECT, Eslinger et al. 2012) and measured pollutant concentrations to evaluate relationships between land-use modeling of NPS pollution runoff and observed patterns of ecosystem health measured in NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) and in selected non-NERRS estuaries in the southeastern U.S. and Chesapeake Bay"--Introduction.
