Export Characteristics of Nitrate-N and Its Dominant Factors in Typical Basins of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area
export characteristics and influencing factors of nitrate-N
the SWAT model was implemented to simulate the runoff and nitrate-N loads in the Meixi River and Daning River basins in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA). Then
the hydrological processes and sources of nitrate-N in the basins were analyzed. Based on the random forest model
the effects of different influencing factors (i.e.
climate
land use
soil type and topography) on runoff and nitrate-N loads were also quantified. The results showed that:(1) The nitrate-N load varied significantly among different land use types
and the annual load intensity followed the order of orchard (20.41 kg/hm2)>dryland (12.51 kg/hm2)>paddy field (10.31 kg/hm2)>construction land (7.09 kg/hm2)>forestland (0.62 kg/hm2)>grassland (0.46 kg/hm2). Dryland was found to be the main source of nitrate-N export in the Meixi River (80%) and Daning River basins (67%).(2) The base flow coefficient in the Meixi River and Daning River basins was 67% and 62%
respectively
and base flow was the main transport pathway of nitrate-N
contributing 68% and 60% of nitrate-N export in the two basins
respectively. (3) Runoff distribution and nitrate-N export had obvious seasonal variation
the base flow contributed above 70% to both runoff and nitrate-N in these two basins in the dry season
and surface runoff contributed 36% and 42% to nitrate-N export in the two basins in the rainy season
respectively. (4) Rainfall was the main factor affected total runoff
and soil type was the main factor affected surface runoff and base flow. Land use was the main factor affected nitrate-N in different runoff pathways
followed by soil type
and the sum of their relative importance was over 70%. In conclusion
environmental land use conflicts were the root cause of nitrate-N loss
and source control was still a key of non-point source pollution prevention and control in the TGRA. In addition to surface runoff control
it was urgent to incorporate dry land and orchard base flow pathway control strategies.
