Historical (1979 - 2020) data for anthropogenic inputs to a catchment and riverine mainstem exports for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus

We estimated the difference in Net Anthropogenic Nitrogen and Phosphorus Inputs (NANI-NAPI) at the finest scale possible (the municipality) in the Rivière du Nord watershed (Québec, Canada) between 1981 and 2016. The dataset here reports the delta between those two years for each municipality in the watershed.

Three sites along the mainstem of Rivière du Nord have been sampled ~bi-monthly from ~1979 - 2020 for dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP), from which we estimated annual riverine export at each site. We also include annual precipitation (as the sum of rain and snow), and NANI-NAPI interpolated for each sub-watershed for 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016.
