| 摘 要: | Lakes and reservoirs are important inland waterscapes in linking nitrogen (N) transport and removal from the terrestrial to marine ecosystems. N removal processes eliminate N permanently from lakes and reservoirs, including denitogen, permanent burial and biomass harvest. The N removal efficiency (R-_removal, i.e. the fraction of N removal amount against total N loads to the lake) is an important parameter for the quantification of N removal from lakes and reservoirs. Intrinsically, R-_removal depends on hydrologic load and total N uptake velocity (V-f_removal). However, it is a challenge in determining Vf_removal which can be used to model R-_removal of lakes and reservoirs. Furthermore, there is less studies in distinguishing the N uptake velocity of individual processes from each other. Here, we estimated the magnitude of each uptake velocity of N removal processes with field observed data, and further presented an integrated V-f_removal to estimate R-_removal of a typical eutrophic lake (the Chaohu Lake) in Eastern China. The mean dinitrogen emission rate was 1.23 +/- 0.83 mg N m(-2) h(-1) in Chaohu Lake in 2016. The uptake velocity of denitrogen, permanent N burial and biomass harvest was 2.67 m yr(-1), 0.25 m yr(-1) and 0.23 m yr(-1), respectively. The removal efficiency of denitrogen, permanent N burial and biomass harvest was 26.14%, 2.76% and 2.56%, respectively. The integrated value of V-f_ removal was 3.33 m yr(-1). We finally compiled hydrological data of 566 large reservoirs in Changjiang River network, and modelled the N removal by combining our estimated value of V-f_removal with hydrological data. We found a significant power relationship between N removal and the reservoir discharge, which can predict the variation of N removal of each reservoir in Changjiang River network. Our research helps to understand N removal in lakes and reservoirs at an entire river network scale. |
