Land Uses Simplified Index (LUSI): Determining Land Pressures and Their Link With Coastal Eutrophication

Human activities on land result in the high-level production of nutrients. When these nutrients reach coastal waters, they could drive the eutrophication process. Here we present the Land Uses Simplified Index (LUSI), an easy-to-use tool for assessing continental pressures on coastal waters. This as...
