Concentrations and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) from terrestrial landscapes to near-coastal zones vary with land use. Information on (DOC) and (DON) concentrations and exports from urban ecosystems is sparse; thus, their source from within urbanised watersheds such as soil or vegetation or from permitted sewage discharge is unknown. We examined DOC and DON concentrations and exports in four gauged subwatersheds in the humid subtropical, upper Trinity River basin, upstream and downstream of the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolis in Texas, USA. Annual average DOC concentrations ranged from 5.7±0.4 to 6.4±0.8mgL–1 and DON concentrations ranged from 0.31±0.05 to 0.33±0.14mgL–1. Dissolved organic carbon exports, which included permitted sewage discharge, ranged from 522kgkm–2 year–1 above Dallas–Fort Worth to 3637kgkm–2 year–1 below Dallas–Fort Worth. Permitted effluent discharge contributed between 1 and 35% of DOC loading above and below the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolis. DON exports ranged from 27 to 179kgkm–2 year–1 above and below Dallas–Fort Worth respectively. There was difficulty apportioning permitted effluent-discharge contribution to DON because of the transformations among nitrogen-species. A moderate but significant relationship was found between DOC and sodium concentrations (R2=0.45; P<0.0001; n=40) and between DOC and potassium concentrations (R2=0.45; P<0.0001; n=40). Dissolved organic nitrogen also displayed a significant relationship with sodium (R2=0.33; P<0.001; n=40) and potassium (R2=0.59; P<0.001; n=40), suggesting that increases in these cations to aquatic ecosystems may induce increases in DOC and DON concentrations. Although DOC export was significantly correlated with medium-density urban land use (r=0.96; P<0.05: n=4), DON export was not (r=0.93; P>0.05; n=4), suggesting that land-management practices and permitted point-source discharges have a significant effect on aquatic DOC and DON concentrations and exports derived from urban watersheds.

Abstract. The surrounding landscape of a stream has crucial impacts on the aquatic environment. This study pictures the hydro-biogeochemical situation of the Tyrebaekken creek catchment in central Jutland, Denmark. The intensively managed agricultural landscape is dominated by rotational croplands. One northern and one southern stream run through the catchment before converging to form a second order brook. The small catchments mainly consist of sandy soil types besides organic soils along the riparian zone of the streams. The aim of the study was to characterise the relative influence of soil type and land use on stream water quality. Nine snapshot sampling campaigns were undertaken during the growing season of 2009. On each sampling day, 20 points along the stream were sampled as well as eight drain outlets and two groundwater wells. Total dissolved nitrogen, nitrate, ammonium nitrogen and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations were measured and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) was calculated for each grabbed sample. Electro-conductivity, pH and flow velocity were measured during sampling. Statistical analyses showed significant differences between the northern, southern and converged stream parts, especially for nitrate concentrations with average values of 9.6 mg N l−1, 1.4 mg N l−1 and 3.0 mg N l−1, respectively. Furthermore, throughout the sampling period DON concentrations increased from 0.1 mg N l−1 to 2.8 mg N l−1 and from 0.1 mg N l−1 to 0.8 mg N l−1in the northern and southern streams, respectively. This corresponded to a contribution of up to 81% to total dissolved nitrogen. Multiple-linear regression analyses performed between chemical data and landscape charateristics showed a significant negative influence of organic soils on instream N concentrations and corresponding losses in spite of their overall minor share of the agricultural land (12.9%). On the other hand, organic soil frequency was positively correlated to the corresponding dissolved organic carbon concentrations. Croplands also had a significant influence but with weaker correlations. For our case study we conclude that soil types and corresponding biogeochemical properties have a major influence on stream water chemistry. Meanwhile, the contribution of dissolved organic nitrogen to the total nitrogen budget was substantial in this agricultural dominated landscape.

Egy homok textúrájú barna erdőtalajjal beállított tenyészedény-kísérletben kétféle meszező anyag (mészkő és dolomit) hatását vizsgáltuk a talaj vízoldható szerves-C-(dissolved organic carbon, DOC) és szerves-N-(dissolved organic nitrogen, DON) tartalmára, zab (Avena sativa L.) jelzőnövény alkalmazásával. A tenyészidő alatt három alkalommal (a 6., 10. és a 15. héten) vettünk talajmintát. A kísérlet eredményei alapján az alábbi megállapításokat tehetjük: A DOC mennyisége statisztikailag igazolható módon növekedett a mészadagok növekedésével mindhárom mintavételi időpontban. Ennek oka a pH emelkedése, ill. a mikrobiális aktivitás fokozódása. A talaj pH-ja és a DOC közötti összefüggés legjobban az y = 0,3733e0,7893x, r = 0,903*** egyenlettel írható le.A DON esetében csak az 1. mintavételnél találtunk szignifikáns mészhatást, a tenyészidő további részében statisztikailag igazolhatóan nem növekedtek a DON-koncentrációk a mészadagokkal.Vizsgálataink arra utalnak, hogy a DOC és a DON biodegradációja eltérő sebességű az adott kísérlet körülményei között.A talaj vízoldható szerves-C-tartalma a 15 hetes tenyészidő alatt szignifikánsan nem változott, míg a DON-koncentráció szignifikáns csökkenést mutatott.A mészkőpor alkalmazásakor magasabb DOC-, ill. DON-koncentrációkat mértünk, mint a dolomitkezeléseknél, de ez statisztikailag nem volt igazolható.

Nitrogen And Phosphorus

A seasonal survey of particulate and dissolved organic material was made at E1 in the English Channel during 1968. The average integral mean values were: dissolved organic carbon 65 μg-at C/l (780 μg C/l); dissolved organic nitrogen 4·6 μg-at N/l (64 μg N/l); dissolved organic phosphorus 0·12 μg-at P/l (3·8 μg P/l); particulate organic carbon 190 μg C/l and particulate organic nitrogen 21 μg N/l. Dissolved organic carbon and the particulate organic carbon and nitrogen showed increases subsequent to the spring bloom; such increases were less evident in the dissolved organic nitrogen results and not apparent in those of dissolved organic phosphorus.Analyses were also made in March and June in 1969 at two other stations in the English Channel, in addition to E1. The results from the three stations were basically similar.
