Differential Controls of Denitrification in Riparian Zones and Streams along an Urban to Exurban Gradient
The large increase in impervious surface cover due to urbanization leads to “flashier” storm flows and increased runoff. This altered hydrology causes channel incision in urban stream channels and lower water tables in the riparian (next to the stream) zone. In turn, these physical changes alter many stream processes, including denitrification. Denitrification is the anaerobic microbial process...
متن کاملPlant uptake and stream chemistry set global bounds on nitrogen gas emissions from humid tropical forests
Denitrification and hydrologic leaching are the two major pathways by which nitrogen is lost from the terrestrial biosphere. Humid tropical forests are thought to dominate denitrification from unmanaged lands globally, but there is large uncertainty about the range and key drivers of total N gas emissions across the biome. We combined pantropical measures of small watershed stream chemistry wit...
متن کاملDynamic modeling of nitrogen losses in river networks unravels the coupled effects of hydrological and biogeochemical processes
The importance of lotic systems as sinks for nitrogen inputs is well recognized. A fraction of nitrogen in streamflow is removed to the atmosphere via denitrification with the remainder exported in streamflow as nitrogen loads. At the watershed scale, there is a keen interest in understanding the factors that control the fate of nitrogen throughout the stream channel network, with particular at...
متن کاملSimulating the global distribution of nitrogen isotopes in the ocean
[1] We present a new nitrogen isotope model incorporated into the three‐dimensional ocean component of a global Earth system climate model designed for millennial timescale simulations. The model includes prognostic tracers for the two stable nitrogen isotopes, N and N, in the nitrate (NO3 ), phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus variables of the marine ecosystem model. The isotope effects o...
متن کاملNitrogen mass balance of a tile-drained agricultural watershed in East-Central Illinois.
Simple nitrogen (N) input/output balance calculations in agricultural systems are used to evaluate performance of nutrient management; however, they generally rely on extensive assumptions that do not consider leaching, denitrification, or annual depletion of soil N. We constructed a relatively complete N mass balance for the Big Ditch watershed, an extensively tile-drained agricultural watersh...
