小流域大气氮干湿沉降特征

Dry and Wet Deposition of Atmospheric Nitrogen in Small Catchments

大气氮沉降是陆源污染物和营养物质向水生生态系统传输的重要途径之一.在人类活动影响较大的流域,大量氮素通过大气沉降的形式输入到水体中,能够对地表水体的营养结构、水生生物的生存环境等造成严重的负面生态效应.本文以密云水库石匣小流域为例,采集并分析了研究区大气氮沉降(颗粒态干沉降与湿沉降)样品,探讨了该流域大气氮沉降通量的变化特征及其主要影响因子,进而明确了大气氮沉降对流域氮输入的贡献程度.结果表明:(1)石匣流域大气氮总沉降(颗粒态干沉降与湿沉降之和)呈现出明显的季节变化特征;对湿沉降而言,总氮、氨氮在夏季沉降通量最大,溶解性有机氮沉降通量在春季最大,而硝态氮季节变化并不明显;对颗粒态干沉降而言,总氮和氨氮的沉降通量在冬季最高;硝态氮在不同季节变化不明显,但其沉降趋势与总氮基本一致;溶解性有机氮在秋季出现最高值.(2)该流域氮沉降通量为43. 14 kg·hm-2,其中湿沉降通量占39. 85%,颗粒态干沉降通量占60. 15%.(3)降雨和风速条件是影响大气氮沉降的重要影响因子,其中雨量和雨强与氮湿沉降浓度均呈明显的负相关关系;对颗粒态干沉降而言,监测期内平均风速是影响颗粒态氨氮干沉降通量的重要因子.(4)大气氮沉降占该流域总的氮素输入量的15. 09%,是仅次于畜禽养殖和农村生活的重要污染源.本研究结果可为密云水库上游流域氮素综合管理提供科学参考.

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition is one of the important pathways for the transmission of terrestrial pollutants and nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. A considerable amount of nitrogen substances is delivered into the surface water environment via atmospheric deposition in the catchments, which are greatly affected by human activities, and have serious negative effects on the nutrient level and aquatic habitat environment. The Shixia Catchment north of the Miyun Reservoir was selected as study area. Samples of particulate dry and wet deposition were collected and tested. Subsequently, the variation of the atmospheric nitrogen deposition flux and factors impacting it were determined; ultimately, the contribution of atmospheric nitrogen deposition to the nitrogen budget of the catchment was estimated. The major results are as follows： ① The total nitrogen deposition flux of particulate dry and wet deposition is characterized by a significant temporary variation. Regarding the total nitrogen, the ammonia nitrogen and wet deposition flux are the highest in summer and dissolved organic nitrogen is the highest in spring. However, the flux of nitrate nitrogen shows no notable seasonal fluctuation. The general trend of the particulate dry deposition flux is supreme in winter, followed by that in autumn and spring. In detail, the total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen deposition are the largest in winter, while the seasonal variance of nitrate nitrogen appears to be less apparent. The dry deposition flux of dissolved organic nitrogen is the greatest in autumn. ② The total flux of nitrogen deposition is 43.14 kg-hm^-2 in the Shixia Catchment; the wet and dry deposition flux account for 39.85% and 60.15% , respectively. ③Rainfall and wind speed conditions are important factors impacting the atmospheric nitrogen deposition. The rainfall and rainfall intensity are negatively correlated with the wet nitrogen deposition concentration. With respect to the particulate dry deposition, the average wind speed during the monitoring period is important to ammonia nitrogen. ④The contribution of atmospheric nitrogen deposition to the total nitrogen input in this catchment is approximately 15.09% , second only to livestock and pouhry farming and rural life. The results of this study provide information that is useful for the nitrogen management in the catchment.
