Abstract:
:Increased application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in agricultural systems contributes to significant environmental impacts, including eutrophication of fresh and coastal waters. Rice cutgrass [ (L.) Sw.] can significantly enhance denitrification potential in agricultural ditch sediments and potentially reduce N export from agricultural watersheds, but relationships with known drivers are not well understood. To address this, we examined effects of nitrate (NO) availability on dinitrogen gas (N) and NO fluxes seasonally. Net denitrification rates were measured as positive N fluxes from vegetated intact sediment cores using membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS). We developed Michaelis-Menten models for N fluxes across NO gradients in the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Summer N models exhibited the highest (maximum amount of net N flux) and (concentration of NO in the overlying water at which the net N flux is half of ), with a maximum production of N of ∼20 mg N m h. Maximum percentage NO retention occurred at 1 mg NO L in the overlying water in all seasons, except summer where maximum retention persisted from 1 to 5 mg NO L. Denitrification rates were strongly correlated with NO uptake by vegetated sediments in spring ( = 0.94, < 0.0001) and summer ( = 0.97, < 0.0001), but low NO uptake in fall and winter resulted in virtually no net denitrification during these seasons. Our results indicate that vegetated ditch sediments may act as effective NO sinks during the growing season. Ditch sediments vegetated with cutgrass not only immobilized a significant fraction of NO entering them but also permanently removed as much as 30 to 40% of the immobilized NO through microbial denitrification.
