Review of process-based nitrogen model for agricultural fields with implications for nitrogen simulations in stormwater BMPs

A process-based nitrogen model suitable for urban stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), when used as an extension to current models, can assist decision-making by predicting removal performances. While such a has not been created, modules agricultural fields have developed and applied. In this paper, the in six models are reviewed perspective of assisting development module BMPs. The consistent structures mathematical descriptions biochemical reactions, but show more variety incorporating environmental factors. operational challenges, strengths, weaknesses simulating BMPs’ performances with illustrated case study. Finally, suggestions on developing BMPs offered based review, study results, differences between fields.
