| Primary Application Category: | GHG and/or ammonia emissions |
| Secondary Application Category: | pollutant cycling/loss and transport |
| Watershed Description: | 161,000 km^2 Athabasca River Basin, which originates in the Columbia Icefields (in the Canadian Rocky Mountains) and drains into Lake Athabasca in the Province of Alberta, Canada. |
| Calibration Summary: | The results show that the modelled CO2 emission rates are in good agreement with the observed data with performance statistics: PBIAS: 0.13%–23%; NSE: 0.27 to 0.62; RSR: 0.60 to 0.84; R2: 0.29 to 0.83. |
| Validation Summary: | |
| General Comments: | The SWAT-MKT model name is listed in the keywords and towards the end of the article. The majority of the time the standard SWAT name is used in the study but the modified SWAT-MKT model is the version of SWAT used in this study. |
