英文摘要 | Human activities have greatly increased the nitrogen (N) loading in rivers over the past century, and consequently, N pollution has become a severe problem in aquatic systems. Nitrate (NO3-) is the predominant form of dissolved N in aquatic environments. In the present study, we evaluated N pollution characteristics and identified N sources using an isotope tracing technique in the upper Han River, a tributary of the Yangtze River with a length of 925 km in China. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the variations of N concentrations and explore the N sources in different time periods and areas. The results revealed that NO3- had significantly higher concentrations in July (22.75 +/- 17.75 mg L-1) than that in other sampling months (14.00 +/- 10.85 mg L-1 in November, 13.70 +/- 11.55 mg L-1 in January, 4.99 +/- 6.10 mg L-1 in April), and it also presented significant spatial variations (p < 0.05) along the riverine network. Isotope analysis indicated a rather large range of isotope values, implying that the NO3- in the upper Han River originated from different sources, primarily from sewage. There was a large overlap of delta(NO3-)-N-15 values between different sources during the growing season (April/July), demonstrating the various inputs of N sources. Our results revealed the degraded water quality and poor control of N run off into the river. With the assessment of temporal-spatial variation and sources of N, improved management practices can be implemented to protect water resource and avoid further water quality deterioration in the upper Han River. |
