摘要：

Using the monthly hydrogeochemical data of ChangLe River system from 2004 to 2008, total nitrogen (TN) export load (S-n) from nonpoint sources (NPS) to stream and in-stream attenuation load (A(L)) was estimated by the inverse and forward format of an existing in-stream nutrient transport equation, respectively. Estimated Sn contributed 96 +/- 2% of TN entering the river system, while A(L) reduced the input TN by 23 +/- 14% in average. In-stream TN attenuation efficiency in high flow periods (10 +/- 5% in average for the entire river system) was much lower than that in low flow periods (39 +/- 17%). TN attenuation efficiency in tributaries (28 +/- 16% in average) was much higher than that in mainstream (11 +/- 8%). Hydrological conditions are important in determining the spatio-temporal distributions of NPS TN export, stream attenuation and discharge. Increasing the water residence time might be a practical method for mitigating stream TN. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
