The results showed that the amount of extraneous nitrogen input into the Hongfeng Lake increases and the interior nitrogen release from the lake is intensified in winter and spring. Nitrogen mixing is relatively obvious at the catchments between the lake inlet and inflowing streams, while organic matter decomposition (nitrification) is most intense in the middle and lower reaches of the lake. In winter and spring the organic matter decomposition takes place mainly at the middle level of the water column in the middle and lower reaches of the lake, which has a bearing on the abundance of degraded organic matter at this water level. This part of degraded organic matter contains a considerable proportion of hydrogenous nitrogen in the lake.展开更多

Studies on the sediment core HF010427 sampled in the lake showed that the upward increase of nitrogen isotopic composition of sedimentary organic nitrogen (δ 15Norg) accorded with the trend of industrial total production (TP) of PCFC. On the contrary, diagenesis will theoretically cause an upward decrease of δ 15Norg. Because no treatment of sewage water was carried out, TP corresponds with sewage emission, indicat- ing that sedimentary δ 15Norg can reflect well the total trend of sewage input. The very similar profile shape between nitrogen isotopic composition of sedimen- tary absorbed ammonium (δ 15NH4+absorbed) and TP of PCFP suggests that δ 15NH4+absorbed can be used to reconstruct more detailed situation of sewage input. The study has a reference to history investigation of sewage input.展开更多
