Characteristics of organic nitrogen fractions in sediments of the water level fluctuation zone in the tributary of the Yangtze River.

The contents of different organic nitrogen (N) fractions, their contributions to total N (TN) and the relationship between their mineralizable N (MN) and different organic N fractions in sediments of the water level fluctuation (WLF) zone were investigated. The contents of TN, acid hydrolyzable N (AHN), and nonhydrolyzable N (NHN) decreased in sediments from the lower altitudes of the WLF zone. The AHN and NHN accounted for 70.56 to 82.89% and 17.11 to 29.44% of TN, respectively. The AHN was the main organic N fraction, indicating that these sediments might promote greater water eutrophication in the Three Gorges tributaries. The distribution of amino-acid N (AAN), ammonium N (AN), amino-sugar N (ASN) and hydrolyzable unidentified N (HUN) in the WLF zone was found to be 170 m > 160 m > 150 m. AAN, AN, ASN, and HUN accounted for 34.70, 20.25, 15.52 and 29.24% of AHN, respectively. HUN and ASN were the main contributors of MN to N release.
