Abstract

Abstract

Accurate identification and quantification of pollution sources is a prerequisite for solving the problem of nitrate (NO₃^-) pollution in watersheds. We reviewed the research progress of NO₃^- source analysis methods in watershed environments, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of qualitative NO₃^- source identification methods (including water chemistry analysis, multivariate statistical analysis, stable isotope tracing, and so on), and summarized the development of quantitative NO₃^- source models (including multivariate statistical models and quantitative isotope analysis models). To improve traceability accuracy and provide a basis for method selection and a theoretical reference for the development of NO₃^- source analysis in watersheds, it is suggested that new traceability methods should be developed from the perspectives of multidisciplinary integration and multidimensional intersection, to accurately identify nitrogen migration and transformation processes; quantitative calculation models should focus on determining the fractionation effects of isotopes and improving the models.
