摘要： A shift in policy to intensive agricultural production and land management often leads to excessive fertilizer application and accelerated erosion with consequent detrimental effects to water bodies. We investigated the impact of that shift by quantifying the spatial and temporal change in sediment sources and associated total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) pollutants output loads in an intensive agricultural catchment in North China across one year (November 2021-November 2022). We describe the implications of this work for intensive agriculture elsewhere in China and other countries. Seasonal sediment source apportionment was estimated at the catchment outlet using Berillium-7 (Be-7) combined with compound-specific stable isotope (CSSI) signatures from sources and sediments. Diagnostic 'fingerprints' in MixSIAR were used to discriminate sediment sources between forest and crop farmland converted from forest (F + C(F)), crop farmland (C), and vegetable farmland (V). Our study identified F + C(F) as the dominant sediment source (mean 55.24 +/- 2.91 %), intermediate on V (mean 30.06 +/- 2.20 %), and least on C (mean 14.70 +/- 2.13 %). Sedimentation ranged from 37.98 +/- 3.02 to 89.60 +/- 12.68 t center dot ha(-1)center dot event(-1) and coincided with shifted land use policy and rainfall distribution. The TN and TP in sediment were both mainly derived from F + C(F) (averaged 22.27 +/- 4.26 t center dot event(-1) and 11.62 +/- 2.28 t center dot event(-1)) and least from V (averaged 1.63 +/- 0.29 and 2.09 +/- 0.33 t center dot event(-1)). Despite being a significant sediment source, V contributed little sediment TN and TP input for eutrophication. Our findings imply that F + C (F) are diffuse sources of catchment pollution over the short term. These results describe the successful use of CSSI and Be-7 to cost-effectively quantify the seasonal variation of sediment TN and TP loads from land-use-specific sources in the catchment under shifting land management policy in China with potential for use elsewhere. These findings enable soil conservation strategies and land management practices optimized for implementing targeted pollutant abatement initiatives in intensive agriculture in China and elsewhere.
