Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to a quantitative method and system for the contribution of river nitrous oxide sources and fate processes. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, has a global warming potential approximately 300 times that of carbon dioxide on a centennial timescale, posing a serious threat to ozone layer depletion. The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPC) found a significant increase in global atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations, primarily originating from agricultural soils and aquatic ecosystems. Human activities (fertilizer application, manure return to fields, and sewage discharge) result in substantial nitrogen input into rivers, making rivers a significant source of nitrous oxide emissions. Studying riverine nitrous oxide release is of significant scientific importance for clarifying nitrogen migration and transformation processes in rivers and determining their contribution to atmospheric nitrous oxide.

[0003] Accurate quantification of the source (generation and input) and sink (release and output) fluxes of nitrous oxide in river systems is a prerequisite for developing process-based nitrogen management strategies. Currently, most studies consider nitrous oxide in water bodies to originate from microbial processes, primarily including nitrification, bacterial and fungal denitrification, nitrifying bacterial denitrification, and dissimilatory reduction of nitrate to ammonium (DNRA). However, with advancements in detection technologies, increasing research has revealed the role of abiotic processes in nitrous oxide production. Specifically, during nitrate reduction, hydroxylamine and nitrite, coupled with iron / manganese oxides and humic substances, can generate nitrous oxide, suggesting that the contribution of abiotic processes to nitrous oxide production may be underestimated. Furthermore, existing techniques neglect the impact of external sources (surface runoff and groundwater input) and sink (release and output) processes on river nitrous oxide production. A recent study on global river nitrous oxide emissions based on a terrestrial ecosystem model coupled with hydrology and biogeochemistry shows that groundwater contributes more than 80% of nitrous oxide emissions. Therefore, considering only microbially mediated endogenous nitrous oxide release while ignoring abiotic processes and the contributions of exogenous nitrous oxide from groundwater and upstream sources will introduce significant uncertainty into the estimation of river nitrous oxide emissions.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a solution to improve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0076] Specifically, to compare the differences in water exchange across different seasons, surface water was collected along the river during different seasons (high-water season, normal-water season, and low-water season). Groundwater was collected from wells within a 1-2 km radius on both sides of the riverbank.

[0094] Furthermore, the process of calculating the supply ratio includes:

[0095] When calculating the relative recharge ratio of groundwater to river water Or the proportion of river water seepage At that time, including:

[0096] ;

[0097] S3: After determining the physicochemical indicators, headspace analysis is used to extract dissolved N2O from the collected water and isotope analysis is performed to generate isotope analysis results.

[0098] Specifically, isotopes of nitrous oxide δ 15 N α and δ 18 O was determined using isotope ratio mass spectrometry. δ 15 N β and The value is calculated using the following formula:

[0099] ;

[0100] ;

[0101] Nitrous oxide is a triatomic asymmetric linear structure (NNO) composed of nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O). It has 12 isotopic isomers, five of which have distinct natural abundances. The nitrogen isotope in nitrous oxide can appear at the intermediate and terminal positions, respectively called... and , Intermolecular forces of nitrous oxide 15 N-site preference;

[0102] Stable isotope ratios are expressed as follows:

[0105] S4: After completing the isotope testing, an indoor culture experiment was conducted on the water sample to determine whether there was a non-biological source of nitrous oxide in the water sample, and the results of the indoor culture were generated.

[0106] Specifically, under anaerobic conditions, nitrates and nitrites are reduced with Fe... 2+ The coupled biological and abiotic processes of oxidation can generate large amounts of nitrous oxide. This process involves both microbial-mediated denitrification and chemical denitrification. To determine whether abiotic sources of nitrous oxide exist in the water and to provide a reliable local endmember range for subsequent Bayesian models, water samples were collected in the field for indoor incubation experiments. Considering that sterilization with ZnCl2 or NaOH would alter the physicochemical properties of the water, filtration was used to remove microorganisms from the water.

[0107] The specific process of removing microorganisms from water by filtration includes: First, in the field, a copper tube is inserted into the bottom of the serum bottle, and water sample is injected until it overflows by more than 3 times, and then sealed with an airtight butyl rubber stopper. The bottle is pre-cultured in an incubator (25°C) for 10 days until nitrates and nitrites are undetectable. After the pre-culture, the bottle is rinsed again with helium, and the water sample is divided into two groups: one group is sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter membrane for non-biological nitrous oxide generation experiments, and the other group is used for biological nitrous oxide generation experiments. Subsequently, the water sample is placed into a 100 mL serum bottle, rinsed with high-purity helium, and sealed with an airtight butyl rubber stopper. Three nitrogen treatments are added to each group of bottles: (1) control group without nitrogen (CK), (2) KNO3 added, and (3) KNO2 added. The concentration of nitrogen added depends on the nitrogen concentration of the water body collected. In this study, NO2 was added. - This study was not based on background concentration, but rather to quantify the contribution of chemical denitrification to nitrous oxide formation throughout the entire denitrification process. All bottles were incubated in darkness, at temperatures as close to in-situ as possible. At five time points—0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h—10 mL of gas was replaced with helium to determine nitrous oxide concentration and isotope parameters, which are used for end-member values ​​required in later modeling. Specific measured parameters and their implications are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0108] S5: Based on the results of the exchange ratio between river water and groundwater, isotope test results, and indoor culture results, the contribution of river nitrous oxide sources is quantified.

[0109] Specifically, the process of quantifying the contribution of river nitrous oxide sources includes delineating the sources of river nitrous oxide and quantifying the contribution of endogenous nitrous oxide processes. The process of delineating the sources of river nitrous oxide includes:

[0110] Assume that dissolved nitrous oxide in river water is divided into exogenous input and endogenous production: (1) exogenous supply (groundwater supply; upstream river input); (2) endogenous production (biological and abiotic processes). The calculation formula is as follows, using an isotope end-member mixing model:

[0111] ;

[0112] ;

[0113] in, , , , These are the characteristic values ​​of nitrous oxide isotopes from river dissolution, groundwater recharge, endogenous sources, and upstream river transport, respectively. , , All of these can be obtained through water sample collection and testing; the removal rate of nitrous oxide transport in groundwater and upstream rivers is not considered at this time. , and The figures represent the proportions of groundwater recharge and endogenous generation, and upstream river carryover, respectively, contributing to dissolved nitrous oxide at river sampling points. pass 222 The groundwater recharge ratio is obtained by calculating Rn.

[0114] Furthermore, the process of quantifying the contribution of endogenous nitrous oxide oxidation includes:

[0115] Assuming the main reactions in the nitrous oxide production process include: (1) microbial sources (bacterial denitrification) bD ), nitrifying bacteria denitrification ( nD ), fungal denitrification ( fD ) and nitration ( Ni (2) Non-biological processes Abio (This depends on the results of indoor cultivation). The contribution of different processes was then quantified using the FRAME model. The FRAME model is a Bayesian isotope mixing model based on the Markov Monte Carlo algorithm. This model defines the probability distribution of each pathway's contribution based on a stable isotope mixing model within a Bayesian framework, allowing uncertainty to be introduced into the input data and the confidence interval of the results to be evaluated. The model considers not only the mixing of nitrous oxide production pathways but also the fractionation effect of nitrous oxide reduction to N2. The main nitrous oxide production pathways involved in this model include: bD , nD , fD , Ni and AbioThe endmember values ​​for each generation pathway were obtained through culture experiments and literature. The fractionation effect conforms to the dynamic Rayleigh equilibrium equation within a closed system, as shown in the following equation:

[0116] ;

[0117] in, , , , , It represents the proportion of different reaction pathways that produce nitrous oxide. , , , , These are isotopic characteristic values ​​from different reaction pathways. r It is the residual of the proportion of unreduced nitrous oxide. A It is the isotopic fractionation coefficient of nitrous oxide reduction. μ The isotopic value representing the final nitrous oxide.
