Denitrification plays an important role in nitrogen (N) removal in freshwater ecosystems. Aquatic plants might have an impact on the sediment denitrification of water body, especially in macrophytes-dominated lake; however, there were different opinions about it. Our hypothesis was that the sediment denitrification rates differ significantly in different vegetation zones and seasons because of direct and indirect effect of the aquatic plants. Therefore, we studied sediment denitrification in Dongping Lake, a typical macrophytes-dominated lake located in the north of China. The acetylene inhibition technique was used to quantify the sediment denitrification rates (DRs) in thePhragmites communis(P.communis) zone, aquaculture zone,Potamogeton crispus(P.crispus) zone and mixed vegetation zone in July (summer), October (autumn), December (winter) of 2015 and March (spring) of 2016. The results showed that the average DRs were significantly higher in theP.communiszone (69.0 +/- 91.6 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)) than the mixed vegetation zone (8.70 +/- 5.44 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)), and the average DRs represented significant seasonal difference as in the order of winter (74.5 +/- 88.3 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)) > autumn (15.7 +/- 18.6 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)) approximate to summer (10.7 +/- 5.90 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)) > spring (3.85 +/- 1.29 mu mol N m(-2) h(-1)). The DRs generally decreased with the increasing of depth; however, significant increase of DRs with depth were found in certain seasons at the vegetated zones except the non-vegetated zone (the aquaculture zone) indicating the possible rhizosphere effect of aquatic plants on denitrification. The higher DRs and cycling rates of nitrate in theP.communiszone might be related to the larger biomass and oxygen transporting capacity ofP.communisthan those of the other aquatic plants. Winter peaks of DRs might be attributed to the higher NO(3)(-)load and the absence of the plant uptake. The high cycling rates of nitrate in Dongping Lake indicated an enhanced internal N cycling by aquatic plants. Sediment denitrification could remove about 537.7 t N every year, which was about 26.5% of annual TN loading in Dongping Lake.
