Nitrogen and phosphorus in the subtropical Presidio River, northwestern Mexico
The aim of this study was to assess its nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the Presidio River, because it receives large volumes of wastewater with high loads of detergents and fertilizers. The mean concentrations of total nitrogen and phosphorus determined between February 2008 and January 2...
