Abstract

Highlights: [•] Nitrate was the dominant species of DIN in Liao River. [•] High fraction of /DIN observed during low flow season. [•] Nitrate in rivers originated mainly from nitrification and sewage based on isotopic pattern. [•] About 7.0×104 tonN/yr entered the Bay annually amounting to 5% of N fertilizer.
