Abstract Nitrogen transport in a 2 km-long, spring-fed stream was studied during the summer months by analyzing weekly water samples from four stations. The water at the spring had a consistently high level of nitrate-N ranging from about 7 mg/l in late spring to about 3 mg/l in early fall. However, over the length of the stream, 60% (about 97 kg) of the incoming nitrate-N is lost from the water during the summer period. The loss, which does not appear to be attributable to the uptake by aquatic macrophytes or to immobilization, is thought to result from denitrification.
