Abstract:In order to identify the sources, transformation and source apportionment of nitrate in Poyang lake wetland, surface water samples were collected in Poyang lake wetland, including Bang lake wetland, Shahushan wetland and Lushan wetland, in January 2019, a typical dry season. The ion composition, and nitrogen and oxygen isotope values of nitrate in the water samples were determined. Results showed that the relationship between the molar ratio of NO3- to Cl- and Cl- concentration indicated the source of nitrate mainly from agricultural activities and rainfall in the three wetlands. The range of δ15N-NO3- and δ18O-NO3- values in the three wetlands were -6.19‰~4.67‰ and 3.41‰~39.95‰, -4.14‰~1.45‰ and 31.54‰~68.30‰, -6.98‰~3.83‰ and 2.80‰~ 30.43‰, respectively. Nitrogen and oxygen isotope values of nitrate showed that the nitrate sources may be influenced by precipitation NO3-, nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, ammonia nitrogen fertilizer and soil organic nitrogen in the three wetlands. The relationship between nitrogen and oxygen isotopes of nitrate and the ratio relationship between NO3- and Cl- suggested that there was no obvious denitrification in these wetlands. The results of SIAR model showed that the contribution of precipitation NO3- to nitrate sources was the largest, then followed by fertilizer and soil organic nitrogen, feces and domestic sewage was the least in three wetlands.
