Municipal Systems'

abstract: A comprehensive framework for analyzing agricultural nutrient balances across
multiple spatial scales (county, 'HUC8', 'HUC2') with integration of wastewater
treatment plant ('WWTP') effluent loads for both nitrogen and phosphorus. Supports
classification of spatial units as nutrient sources, sinks, or balanced areas based
on agricultural surplus and deficit calculations. Includes visualization tools,
spatial transition probability analysis, and nutrient flow network mapping. Built-in
datasets include agricultural nutrient balance data from the Nutrient Use Geographic
Information System ('NuGIS'; The Fertilizer Institute and Plant Nutrition Canada,
1987-2016) and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency ('EPA') wastewater discharge data from the 'ECHO' Discharge Monitoring Report
('DMR') Loading Tool (2007-2016) .
Data are downloaded on demand from the Open Science Framework ('OSF') repository
to minimize package size while maintaining full functionality. The integrated 'manureshed'
framework methodology is described in Akanbi et al. (2025) .
Designed for nutrient management planning, environmental analysis, and circular
economy research at watershed/administrative to national scales. This material is
based upon financial support by the National Science Foundation, EEC Division of
Engineering Education and Centers, NSF Engineering Research Center for Advancing
Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production (CASFER), NSF 20-553 Gen-4 Engineering
Research Centers award 2133576. We thank Dr. Robert D. Sabo (U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency) for his valuable contributions to the conceptual development
and review of this work. We acknowledge Dr. Sheri Spiegal (U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural
Research Service) for foundational contributions to the manureshed classification
framework (Spiegal et al. 2020) .
