摘要

In this study, we used natural abundance isotope measurements of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (N) species to evaluate the effect of different oxygenation regimes on N transformation and elimination in Saanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord in British Columbia, Canada. We analyzed dissolved nutrient concentrations and the N (and O) isotope composition of nitrate (NO_3~(1-)) and ammonium (NH_4~(1+)) at different depths throughout the water column near the mouth of the inlet between April 2008 and April 2009. A gradual increase in both the NO_3~(1-) δ~(15)N and δ~(18)O, associated with a decrease in NOf concentration and an increase in biological excess N_2. was observed after bottom water renewal events in August-October 2008, indicating NO_3~(1-) consumption by denitrifying bacteria in an expanding suboxic water column. An increase in the δ~(15)N of NH_4~(1+) with depth toward the suboxic/hypoxic transition, indicated net consumption of NH_4~(1+), most likely by micro-aerobic or anaerobic NH_4~(1+) oxidation and dissimila-tory consumption by microorganisms. Deviations from a 1:1 correlation between the NO_3~(1-) δ~(15)N and δ~(18)O (△(15,18)) that appears characteristic for both assimilatory and dissimilatory NOf consumption in the ocean, were observed in surface waters and close to the hypoxic/suboxic transition. Lowered △(15, 18) values can most plausibly be explained by aerobic nitrification of newly remineralized NH_4~(1+) and/or low δ~(15)N-NO_3~(1-) inputs from atmospheric precipitation in the surface mixed layer, and NO_3~(1-) regeneration through NH_4~(1+) oxidation and/ or the reoxidation of nitrite (NO_2~(1-)) in deeper waters. Closed and open system model-derived N isotope effects for NOf consumption calculated from time-series samples collected near the sediments in anoxic bottom waters were significantly lower (as low as ~1 l‰) than the biological N isotope effects of ~20-30‰ for water column de-nitrification reported in other studies. We argue that the reduced N isotope effect is mainly due to the combined effects of water column and sediment denitrification, the latter occurring with a highly suppressed N isotope frac-tionation at the ecosystem level. We estimated that ~40-60% of the denitrification occurs within the sediments of the inlet.
