Abstract:
      In order to explore characteristics of agricultural non-point source pollution in the middle and lower Yangtze region, the diffuse pollution estimation with remote sensing model(DPeRS)was used to calculate agricultural non-point source pollution loads in this study. And pollution risk assessment method considering pollution thresholds was developed to identify high risk area of agricultural non-point source pollution. Furthermore, the influencing factors of agricultural non-point source pollution were analyzed. In 2023, the total nitrogen and phosphorus loads of agricultural non-point sources pollution in the middle and lower Yangtze region were 10.70 kg·hm-2 and 0.50 kg· hm-2, respectively. And the high agricultural non-point source pollution areas were mainly distributed in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Jiangsu provinces. The proportions of agricultural non-point source pollution with slight, mild, moderate, strong, severe and extremely severe pollution risks were 30.33%, 43.66%, 15.96%, 4.70%, 2.25% and 3.10%, respectively. The statistical analysis showed that precipitation and fractional vegetation cover were key influencing factors of agricultural non-point source pollution. The correlation coefficients between precipitation and agricultural non-point source total nitrogen load in Anhui, Hunan and Jiangsu provinces were higher than 0.18(P<0.05), and the correlation coefficient between fractional vegetation cover and agricultural non-point source total phosphorus load in Jiangxi Province was -0.21(P<0.01). Results indicate that high-intensity agricultural activities and high precipitation increase the pollution risk of agricultural non-point source pollution in the middle and lower Yangtze region. The combination of agricultural non-point source pollution loads and water pollution thresholds can improve the accurate identification of high risk areas and provide valuable information for formulating effective agricultural non-point source pollution management strategies.
