Abstract:
      Polder is an artificial watershed unit widely distributed in the lowland area of Lake Taihu basin, with the severe problem of agricultural non-point source pollution. It is also a critical and unique geographical unit for agricultural non-point source pollution control, with great potential in reducing agricultural non-point source pollution. However, this potential has under-estimated or even neglected during the past decades. Therefore, this study identified the critical problems of non-point source pollution of nitrogen(N)and phosphorus (P) in lowland areas, including agricultural farmlands and aquaculture ponds, while elucidating the challenge of tracking N & P. The uniqueness of hydrological and N & P cycling in the polder ecosystem was summarized as along with the corresponding model descriptions. The potential of polders in enhancing N & P reduction capacity in lowland areas was also discussed. Furthermore, suggestions regarding the control and mechanism of agricultural non-point source pollution in polder areas were proposed from the perspectives of the control unit, precise treatment technology, and typical demonstration.
