1 8 juilllet 29, Séminaire de lancement de l UMT GES-N 2 O Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in the Seine river and basin: Observations and budgets Josette Garnier, Gilles Billen, Guillaume Vilain, Anun Martinez, Marie Silvestre, Emmanuelle Mounier, Florent Toche AGEE, 29

2 Objectives & approaches to quantify the indirect emission from N 2 O in the drainage network from the river miror from the WWTPs from the riparian zones to establish a spatialized budget of nitrogen and N2O in the Seine basin use of a GIS-Software simplifying the visualisation and calculation the budgets gathering data from literature to establish a typology of N 2 O emission from land use types (industrial cropping, forest, grassland) of

3 Investigations on the field: sampling sites 8 stations in July 26 and January & July 27 Upst. Oise Water analysis N 2 O, NO 3,NO 2, NH 4 N 15, O 18 Si, P SS, POC DNA (bact. populations) Sediment analyses Basse Seine Eure Denit potential, POC, granulo DNA (bact. populations) Axe Oise Gd Morin Axe Marne Yonne & Vesle Upst.

5 Field: Variations of N 2 O concentrations in river waters in function of land use Winter Summer All data 2 N-NO3, µgn/l % arable lands Nitrate concentrations Higher in rivers draining higher proportion of agricultural bassin Higher in winter than in summer N-N2O, µgn/l Winter Summer All data % arable lands N 2 O concentrations an increase with the percentage of arable land

6 Distribution in function of stream order N-N2O, µgn l Winter Summer Concentrations highest upstream (leaching, production), decrease (outgasing), increase downstream (production) N-NO3, mgn l Concentrations highest upstream due to leaching N-NH4, mgn l Values increase dowstream with population and domestic pollution river orders
