Tracing nitrate sources with dual isotopes and long term monitoring of nitrogen species in the Yellow River, China

Abstract A heavy load of nitrogenous compounds reflects nutrient loss and influences water quality in large rivers. Nitrogenous concentrations and dual isotopes of nitrate were measured to ascertain the spatial and temporal distributions of nitrate transformation in the Yellow River, the second-long...
