摘要： China has been facing severe organic pollution and the nonpoint source export from surface soil is usually overlooked in coastal areas. In this paper, from the perspective of catchment and attenuation, we have constructed a risk assessment method for coastal nonpoint source pollution (NSP) by applying the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) and geostatistical analysis. Combined with the soil and water monitoring data, we have simulated regional NSP risks originating from surface soil organic matter (SOM) in the Yellow River Delta (YRD). Field surveys have verified the significant positive correlations between watershed SOM exporting risks and estuarine chemical oxygen demand (COD) fluxes during the rainy season. There present obvious logarithmic relations between the COD fluxes and the rainfall quantities, and the surface organic NSP risks. Larger NSP contributing sources are mainly located in the areas with higher soil exposure and stronger land-sea interactions. It should focus on the agricultural areas and improve relevant fertilizing and tillage methods to reduce source- exporting risks. Additionally, the summer rainfall concentrating periods need to be controlled emphatically, and vegetation-improving strategies need to be supplemented with the spatiotemporal-specific managements. This study provides a new insight for getting early terrestrial warning information for offshore organic water pollution, and presents research references for similar regional NSP issues.
