Patterns of nitrogen concentrations and their controls in two southern China urban river ecosystems
Urbanization influences both inorganic and organic nitrogen (N) forms in aquatic ecosystems, but most urban studies focus on these forms in isolation. This can have significant effects on N biogeochemical cycle, N budgets and N pollution abatement measures. In this regard, we conducted a comprehensi...

Summary: | Urbanization influences both inorganic and organic nitrogen (N) forms in aquatic ecosystems, but most urban studies focus on these forms in isolation. This can have significant effects on N biogeochemical cycle, N budgets and N pollution abatement measures. In this regard, we conducted a comprehensive seasonal study to compare the patterns and controls of surface water inorganic and organic N forms between two contrasting Fuzhou river ecosystems in southern China. Surface waters of the urban Bailongjiang River (BJR) had significantly higher dissolved inorganic N (DIN; p |
