摘要

Nitrogen isotope measurements of plants and waters are being used to identify nitrogen fluxes and transformations occurring in a natural cattail marsh in Sandia Canyon at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The marsh receives inputs of treated sewage wastewater, containing nitrate enriched in ~(15)N (δ~(15)N of 32.4 per thousand, concentrations up to 30 mg/L). Cattails growing near the head of the primary wetland have δ~(15)N values up to 37.8 per thousand, suggesting that sewage nitrate is their main source of nitrogen with in-situ denitrification leading to further enrichment of the wetland nitrate pool. These cattails also have lower molar C/N ratios, relative to other cattails in the system, with values around 16. These results suggest that nitrogen is both lost from the system via denitrification and stored in plant material. Cattails growing near the distal end of the wetland, in more strongly reducing sediments that potentially have higher denitrification rates, were enriched in ~(13)C. This is due to decreased isotopic fractionation during uptake and assimilation of CO_2, resulting from partial closure of stomata under physiological redox stress. These cattails were enriched in ~(15)N, relative to cattails growing in central portions of the wetland. Natural abundance level isotopic measurements of wetland plants and waters could provide an effective technique to identify spatial gradients in nitrogen inputs, outputs, and transformation, in both natural and constructed wetlands.
