综合运用定位监测、野外试验、模型模拟与GIS技术等手段和方法,定量研究了南亚热带地区九龙江流域和五川小流域氮的大气沉降、河流输送(地表径流)、淋失、反硝化和氨挥发等输入输出(源汇)时空模式与机理.结果表明,九龙江流域氮“源”以化肥与饲料输入为主(占总输入125.6kg·hm^-2的86%),氮“汇”以氨挥发和河流输送为主(占总输出72.9kg·hm^-2的82%).氮输入后50%以上进入大气和水环境,14.5%通过河流输送至河口与近海.大气氮沉降通量为14.9kg·hm^-2,其中干沉降占34%,湿沉降占66%,形成1:2的干湿沉降结构;源于化肥施用与畜禽养殖引起的强烈氨挥发,氮沉降集中在春夏两季(占全年80%),且以铵态氮为主(39%以上).氮的径流输出及河流输送受人为氮输入与水文条件的双重控制,2004年九龙江向厦门海域输送无机氮11.5kg·hm^-2,其中90%发生在春夏秋季(同期流量占全年89%);五川小流域总氮径流输出负荷为67.1kg·hm^-2,其中85%发生在施肥量大、降雨集中的春夏两季(作物生长期);基流与降雨径流分别贡献25%和75%.总氮淋失负荷为27.5kg·hm^-2,占总输入的9%;pH〈5的酸性土壤带正电荷导致氮淋失以铵态氮为主(约占40%).九龙江流域反硝化通量为7.7kg·hm^-2,而氨挥发高达42.1kg·hm^-2,氨挥发主要来自化肥施用与畜禽养殖(分别贡献50%和39%).减少春夏时期肥料氮的输入(养分管理),有效截留雨季的降雨径流(水文控制)是该流域氮素管理的关键.
Excessive reactive nitrogen (N) additions from human activities have resulted in serious and long-term environmental consequences for large regions of the Earth. An understanding of N sources and their export pattern is important for selecting the proper remedial strategies to control nutrient losses from the watershed. In this study, the N sources and exports were determined for the Jiulong River Watershed (JRW) , a coastal watershed with an area of 1.47× 10^4 km^2 in the southeast of China; and the Wuchuan subwatershed ( 1.88 km^2 ) , a small agricultural watershed in the up-stream Jiulong River. Water quality monitoring, field measurements, mechanism models and GIS techniques were linked to estimate the N flux of atmospheric deposition, streamflow discharge, leaching, denitrification, and ammonia volatilization. Two scale watershed N budgets based on 2004 data were used to identify N sources and the primary path of N losses. The N budget for JRW showed that fertilizer and animal feedstuffs contributed 86% of the total N input ( 125.6 kg·hm^-2 ) ; while streamflow discharge and ammonia volatilization contributed 82% of the total N output (72.9 kg·hm^-2 ). More than half of the anthropogenic N input was lost to the air and water. About 14.5% of the N input was discharged to rivers and subsequently delivered to the estuary. The annual deposition flux of atmospheric N amounted to 14.9 kg·hm^-2, of which dry deposition and wet deposition accounted for 34% and 66% , respectively. About 80% of atmospheric deposition occurred in spring and summer, indicating that higher ammonia volatilization from fertilizer application in the growing season, and animal feeding together provided the largest N source. The Jiulong River provided dissolved inorganic N transport of 11.5 kg·hm^-2 to the estuary, of which more than 90% occurred from March through November (wet season) resulting from 89% of the total flow. Compared with the baseflow, stormflow contributed about 75% of the annual N export (67.1
