Short summary
Extreme storms and droughts have profound impacts on water quality. We adopted a stochastic rainfall generator to test how rainfall changes affect the transformation and transport of nitrogen (N) and its potential effects on water quality. We found that wet/dry conditions and patterns within a year influence N transformation and transport. Mineralization and plant uptake are key processes governing the impact of nitrate on water quality under varying rainfall conditions.
