Abstract

This study aims to narrow the value of δ15N-NO3in precipitation reported in wide rang, by monitoring the variations of the values during limited periods at the same point at upstream Okura River, Sendai, in northern part of Japan. Because we monitored the variations during snow melting periodsin 2013 and 2014, we could know the values ofδ15N-NO3in precipitation itself without being merged with those of soil water.The value varied 0.5-2.7 and 0.4-3.8, in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The average values were 1.8 and 1.2 in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Big discrepancy was not shown in these two years. The results obtained here may help to know the origin of a river water and then to establish environmental plans considering nutrients delivery.
