Research Abstract

The stable isotopic compositions of nitrate, including the triple oxygen isotopes, were determined twice in 1 year in several oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes in Japan. These data were then used to quantify the geochemical dynamics of nitrate in each lake, by using the deposition rate of the atmospheric nitrate onto each lake. The new method using the triple oxygen isotopes of nitrate has overcome the problems inherent in the conventional incubation methods to quantify the geochemical dynamics of nitrate in lake water columns, such as gross nitrate uptake rates and gross nitrification rates in lakes.
