摘要

To provide insight into the importance of the salt-marsh ecotone as a sink for inorganic nitrogen in perched groundwater, measurements were made of the natural abundance of15N in dissolved NO3-N and NH4-N and in the salt-marsh halophyte,Salicornia virginica, along an environmental gradient from agricultural land into a salt-marsh. The increase in the natural abundance of15N (expressed by convention as δ15N) of NO3-N, accompanied by the decrease in NO3-N (and total dissolved inorganic N, DIN) concentration along the gradient, suggested that the salt-marsh ecotone is a site of transformation, most likely through denitrification, of inorganic nitrogen in groundwater.15N enrichment inS. virginica(and the parasitic herb,Cuscuta salina), along the tidal marsh boundary, relative to high and middle marsh locations, indicated the retention of groundwater nitrogen as vegetative biomass. The correlation between δ15NSalicorniaand δ15NNH4suggested a preference for NH4-N over NO3-N during uptake by this plant. Groundwater inputs enhanced the standing crop, above-ground productivity, and nitrogen content ofS. virginicabut the ralative effects of pore water salinity and DIN concentration on these parameters were not determined.15N enrichment of marsh plants by groundwater DIN inputs could prove useful in tracing the fate of these inputs in the marsh food w
