Research model: INCA - N
INCA-N (Integrated Catchments Model - Nitrogen dynamics) is a semi-distributed stochastic catchment-scale model to assess the impact of point and diffuse pollution sources on in-stream chemistry in an integrated form. It is developed by the University of Reading (UK) and provides process-based representation of the factors and processes controlling nutrient dynamics in both the land and the in-stream proportion of catchments. INCA - N estimate inorganic nitrogen loss at different timescales in response to environmental change and catchment management
