Nitrate dynamics in a forested catchment on the southeastern Tibetan Plateau: A study integrating natural-abundance isotopic, 15N pairing, and microbial molecular techniques

Wenshi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively explored the dynamics of nitrate (NO3-) cycling and its driving mechanisms in a pristine forested catchment on the Tibetan Plateau by using natural-abundance isotopes, N-15 pairing techniques, and microbial functional genes. It was found that most of the river's NO3- came from soil organic nitrogen mineralization-nitrification, but significant NO3- removal also occurred in the catchment. The N-15 pairing experiments confirmed the prevalence of nitrification in soil, but revealed that more than half of the nitrification-derived NO3- was removed. Microbial functional gene abundances were found to regulate nitrification and denitrification, and were in turn regulated by abiotic factors. Additionally, fluvial NO3- export rates in the sub-catchments were significantly influenced by river runoff, emphasizing the role of hydrological conditions and soil leaching in regulating NO3- fluxes.

Anthropogenic impacts on the nitrate pollution in an urban river: Insights from a combination of natural-abundance and paired isotopes

Wenjing Guo et al.

Summary: Urban rivers often have high nitrate (NO3-) loadings, which can cause water quality and ecological damages. The drivers of these high loadings have remained unclear. This study used natural-abundance isotopes and N-15-pairing techniques to reveal the anthropogenic impacts on NO3- pollution in an urban river for the first time. The study showed that soil sources and wastewater treatment plants were significant contributors to the high NO3- loadings.

Multiple Isotopes Reveal a Hydrology Dominated Control on the Nitrogen Cycling in the Nujiang River Basin, the Last Undammed Large River Basin on the Tibetan Plateau

Hao Jiang et al.

Summary: The Tibetan Plateau is sensitive to climate change, and this study investigates the feedbacks of nitrogen cycling to climate conditions in the Nujiang River Basin. The isotopic compositions reveal that nitrate loadings are controlled by multiple sources during the low-flow season and biological removal processes occur during the high-flow season. Soil sources, sewage, and atmospheric precipitation contribute to riverine nitrate during different seasons. The study highlights the importance of hydrology in controlling nitrogen cycling dynamics in the basin.

Global Patterns and Drivers of Soil Dissimilatory Nitrate Reduction to Ammonium

Yi Cheng et al.

Summary: Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) is an important process in the terrestrial nitrogen cycle, which can protect nitrogen by converting nitrate into ammonium. A meta-analysis showed that DNRA rates were significantly higher in paddy soils compared to forests, grasslands, and unfertilized croplands. Soil DNRA was influenced by altitude, latitude, precipitation, temperature, pH, soil total carbon, and soil total nitrogen.

Time-series monitoring of river hydrochemistry and multiple isotope signals in the Yarlung Tsangpo River reveals a hydrological domination of fluvial nitrate fluxes in the Tibetan Plateau

Wenjing Liu et al.

Summary: The study in the Tibetan Plateau revealed the significant correlation between nitrate (NO3-) flux and discharge, indicating the presence of a potential NO3- source counteracting the diluting effects during the rainy season. Soil sources were found to be the primary contributors to NO3- flux, with significant seasonal variations driven by hydrological conditions. A conceptual model integrating anthropogenic and climatic factors was proposed to classify NO3- export mechanisms into transport-limited and generation-limited regimes.

Multiple isotopic compositions reveal complex nitrogen cycling in a subtropical estuary

Hao Jiang et al.

Summary: Nitrogen (N) pollution and eutrophication can harm estuarine ecosystems, with understanding N sources and cycling crucial for management. In the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), a multiple-isotopic approach revealed contrasting N dynamics between the west and east, with NO3- largely influenced by mixing in the west and assimilation/nitrification in the east. River discharge and nitrification were major contributors to the NO3- pool, while NH4+ mainly originated from river discharge.

Climatic and anthropogenic driving forces of the nitrogen cycling in a subtropical river basin

Hao Jiang et al.

Summary: This study used a multiple-isotopic approach to investigate nitrogen cycling at a basin scale, finding that climate and anthropogenic activities impact nitrogen cycling. The results showed that denitrification dominates nitrogen transformations in summer, while coupled nitrification-denitrification in soils after fertilization is responsible for isotopic fractionations in spring and autumn.

Nitrogen cycling in a tropical coral reef ecosystem under severe anthropogenic disturbance in summer: Insights from isotopic compositions

Ke Pan et al.

Summary: The complex nitrogen cycling processes in the coral reef ecosystem are effectively reflected in the isotopic compositions of seawater and sediment, with nitrate sources being largely regulated by a mix of precipitation and sewage influence. The study also reveals significant nitrogen mineralization-nitrification-denitrification processes in sediments, with nitrogen loss exceeding input.

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and functional genes in two subtropical rivers, China

Binjie Zhao et al.

Summary: The study investigated dissimilatory nitrate reduction rates in sediments of two subtropical rivers in China, revealing varying contributions of denitrification, anammox, and DNRA in different seasons and under different levels of human disturbance. The rates were correlated with environmental factors, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes for sustaining the ecohealth of river ecosystems.

Synchronous evaporation and aquatic primary production in tropical river networks

Jun Zhong et al.

Summary: By studying multiple rivers in Hainan Island, China, the research found that intense evaporation and aquatic primary production occur simultaneously in the headwater segments, with the available reactive area at the water-air interface playing a crucial role. This phenomenon has significant implications for understanding global carbon cycling.

Global patterns of nitrate isotope composition in rivers and adjacent aquifers reveal reactive nitrogen cascading

Ioannis Matiatos et al.

Summary: The isotopic data of nitrate in global rivers and shallow aquifers reveal differences in nitrate concentrations and nitrogen isotope composition between the two water bodies. Water temperature plays a role in affecting the isotopic composition of nitrate, with waste-related nitrogen source signals being more prominent in colder seasons. Isotopic assays are crucial for understanding nitrate pollution and informing effective agricultural and land management strategies.
