title = "Effect of frequent storms on nutrient discharge in a mountainous coastal catchment, western Japan",
abstract = "In order to forecast the variation of nutrient load with climate change, the long-term change in rainfall and its effect on river runoff in a study catchment were investigated and related to change in nutrient discharge to the ocean. In the study area there has been a decreasing rainfall trend for 40 years but the frequency of large rainfall events has remained constant. The annual runoff decreased by 60 mm in the last 40 years, but large annual runoff amounts were observed in years with large rainfall events. The nutrient discharge also reflected the rainfall and runoff trends. DN load has increased in the long term, while in drought years DP load has increased, reflecting the dominant groundwater contribution with significantly higher DP concen-trations in such conditions.",
