摘要

Denitrification is considered to be the most important pathway removing nitrogen from terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. However, field studies that quantify this process under in situ conditions are sparse, especially in large rivers. Here, we measured N-2, the end product of denitrification, directly in the water column of a large 8th order lowland river (Elbe, Germany) using N-2/Ar ratios measured by Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS). Denitrification was calculated according to the open-channel two-station approach based on Lagrangian sampling along a 580 km long, mostly free flowing river section. Gas exchange was computed by several empirical equations to bound uncertainty in air-water exchange and the resulting fluxes were used to estimate ranges in N-2-production. In summer 2011 and spring 2012, we found slight but distinct N-2 super saturations in the river water averaging 2.8 and 3.5 mu M, respectively. Denitrification rates averaged 18 and 13 mg N m(-2) h(-1) for summer 2011 and spring 2012, respectively. On an annual cycle this corresponds to a nitrogen removal of 10,000 t N year(-1) that is 10% of the total N inputs along the studied river section. These results show that large rivers can remove large amounts of nitrogen during downstream transport and demonstrate that the open-channel N-2 method provides a valuable tool to study in situ denitrification not only in small, but also in large rivers.
