Howarth

Robert Howarth (Cornell University) and co-authors
The John H. Martin Award recognizes a paper in aquatic sciences that is judged to have had a high impact on subsequent research in the field. The 2018 Martin Award is for Howarth, R. et al., 1996, Regional nitrogen budgets and riverine nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes for the drainages to the North Atlantic Ocean: natural and human influences (Biogeochemistry 35: 75-139). Howarth et al (1996) presented a unique budget approach for large river basins and documented unambiguously that riverine nitrogen fluxes are positively related to net anthropogenic nitrogen inputs.
