Effects of nitrogen inputs on freshwater wetland ecosystem services – A Bayesian network analysis

Spence, P. L., & Jordan, S. J. (2013, May 1). Journal of Environmental Management, Vol. 124, pp. 91–99.

By: P. Spence*  & S. Jordan *

Contributors: P. Spence*  & S. Jordan *

author keywords: Freshwater wetlands; Nitrogen removal; Water quality; Nitrous oxide; Ecosystem services; Bayesian Belief Networks
