Not much work has been done on nitrogen accumulation and leaching at a watershed level, especially for deep vadose zone of alluvial-proluvial sediments. Here, nitrate (NO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">3</ce:inf><ce:sup loc=\"post\">–</ce:sup>) accumulation and leaching were investigated in the deep vadose zone (20 m below ground level (b.g.l.)) across Baiyangdian watershed in the North China Plain (NCP). The study area is rich in sedimentary deposits of varying geomorphologic features. Results of the study showed that watershed geomorphologic and sedimentary features control not only soil water flux, but also nitrate accumulation and leaching in the deep vadose zone. Nitrate leaching was highest (252.0 kg·N·ha<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>·y<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>) and accumulation lowest (352.7 kg·N·ha<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>) in regions of the study area with highly permeable sandy alluvial-proluvial fan. In contrast, nitrate accumulation was highest (3276.7 kg·N·ha<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>) and leaching lowest (9.8 kg·N·ha<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>·y<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup>) in thick silty/clay flood plains and lake depressions areas. The nitrate flux was primarily driven by vertical infiltration in flood plains and lake depressions. Also, Nitrogen fertilizer (N-fertilizer) input and irrigation affect nitrogen leaching into the deeper vadose zone and groundwater in the study area. It was inferred that, rising of water table under extreme precipitation events could trigger the release accumulated soil nitrogen, the shorten nitrogen leaching lag-time, and increase risk of groundwater pollution. This finding could guide policy decisions given the sensitivity and vulnerability of groundwater to the risk of pollution in the study area.","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"152 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We modeled TP retention and fluxes from the largest Changjiang River network in China based on high-frequency monitoring data of TP concentrations at 55 monitoring stations during Jan.1, 2021-Dec.31, 2022. We emphasized basin-scale control of the TP loss rate (also called the first-order rate constant) in response to variations in discharge and total suspended solids (TSS) under climate change. We found that the TP loss rates ranged from 0.008 h<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup> to 0.032 h<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−1</ce:sup> and declined with water discharge but increased with the TSS content. The ratio of TP retention is negatively related to Strahler river orders, and was ∼ 0.55 for the streams with low orders (1–3) and ∼ 0.25 for the highest order river (8). TP concentrations at 55 stations ranged from 0.008 ∼ 0.145 mg·L<ce:sup loc=\"post\">-1</ce:sup> for annual average and 0.03 ∼ 4.89 mg·L<ce:sup loc=\"post\">-1</ce:sup> for daily maximum.

Profile soil moisture (PSM) is a key intermediate variable in rainfall-runoff transformation, its spatial heterogeneity affects the spatial–temporal processes of floods. However, soil moisture data in the current flood modeling researches are only the intermediately simulated values that lack spatial validation, how spatial heterogeneity in soil moisture affects high-resolution flood processes is still unclear. In contrast, soil moisture data derived from satellites are spatial observed values that can better represent real spatial distribution. This study is first to incorporate satellite-based data and hydrological modeled data to identify the effects of different spatial patterns of profile soil moisture on spatial–temporal processes of floods at 1 km × 1 km resolution. The distributed hydrological model (DDRM) and the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) products are chosen to provide different PSM spatial patterns, under which, the DDRM is used to investigate corresponding spatial–temporal processes of floods. Four modeling scenarios (two DDRM-only scenarios and two assimilation scenarios) in two humid and one semi-arid catchments are set to see the different effects, and the spatial–temporal statistical analysis and the semi-variogram method are used to identify the spatial heterogeneity. Results indicate that both PSM and runoff show strong spatial heterogeneity with the values of C/(C0 + C) in the semi-variogram method higher than 0.8; for different periods, the decrease of spatial heterogeneity in PSM corresponds to the decrease of spatial heterogeneity in runoff; for different scenarios, soil moisture storage capacity (SMC) affects spatial heterogeneity of runoff more in the semi-arid catchment, and the change of sensitive parameters of spatial soil moisture is the main driver to change the spatial heterogeneity of runoff. The findings of the study would enhance the development of refined modeling of floods, and have practical implications for flood risk management and early flood warning systems.","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accurate and efficient estimation of SWCCs is indispensable in geotechnical engineering and hydrology. This paper aims to develop a comprehensive model for accurately estimating the family of SWCCs for sandy soils using their unimodal grain size distribution (GSD). First, an improved model is developed by combining the physical-based MV model with statistical estimation to predict the initial drying SWCC. This model explicitly quantified the effects of soil uniformity and residual water content on estimated SWCC based on GSD. Second, the model is further developed to predict the main wetting curve from the estimated drying curve by introducing residual air content, contact angle hysteresis, and “ink bottle” effects. The drying and wetting scanning curves are predicted for any given transition point. Then, the model’s performance is evaluated through comparison with experimental data from various sandy soils, cross-validation, sensitivity analysis, and uncertainty quantification. Results show that the model stands out for its superior accuracy and convenience compared to classical models. It provides reliable predictions of the entire family of SWCCs for a wide range of sandy soils, from gravelly to clayey sand. Finally, the potential application in other fields and limitations of the model are discussed. The model also demonstrates the potential to be extended to various soil types, including gap-graded soils, fine-grained soils, and soils with organic matter.","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intricate nature of groundwater flow systems, coupled with challenges in acquiring field observations related to aquifers, poses significant challenges in quantitatively characterizing groundwater drought. The present paper presents a novel contribution to the time series forecasting of groundwater drought through state-of-the-art integrated GWO-SVM models. The Standardized Groundwater Level Index (SGI) was employed to monitor groundwater drought in one of the critical aquifers in Iran, and forecasts were conducted for various horizons, including short-term (3 months: t + 3), mid-term (9 months: t + 9), and long-term (12 months: t + 12) periods. Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN), Variation Mode Decomposition (VMD), Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT), Empirical Fourier Decomposition (EFD), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) were further incorporated as pre-processing techniques to enhance forecasting accuracy. The trend analysis findings indicated that out of the 20 observation wells assessed, 15 observation wells (P1–P15) located in the western part of the aquifer showed a negative trend. The SOM method clustered the aquifer into five clusters, with well P8, representing cluster 1, demonstrating the highest accuracy in forecasting groundwater drought. The overall results demonstrated the significant impact of pre-processing on enhancing the forecasting accuracy of groundwater drought. The VMD-GWO-SVM model provided superior performance compared to all employed models in short to long-term horizons, achieving NSE values of 0.955, 0.915, and 0.838 for short-term, mid-term, and long-term periods, respectively.","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In ML, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of all four tested models was below 1.5, with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) performing the best.

Middle-layer soil temperature, surface-layer soil salinity, water head and air temperature were identified as important parameters for ML. Heuristic algorithm can assist in searching for optimal parameters for TCA (Optimized TCA) and improve RMSE from 5.91 to 4.79. By integrating PBM and ML, developed a hybrid modeling strategy named HM. The HM was constructed using XGB and TCA, and achieved an error rate falling between Non-Optimized TCA (5.91) and Optimized TCA (5.51).

In this study, F distribution in groundwater and aquifers of the southern Beijing Plain is comprehensively elucidated and its controlling factors are analyzed by integrating multiple approaches, including hydrogeochemical and isotopic analysis of groundwater, and chemical, lithological, and mineralogical studies of borehole sediment. Groundwater F<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−</ce:sup> concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 0.95 mg/L, and were below the permissible limit in drinking water recommended by the Chinese government (1.0 mg/L). Relatively high F<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−</ce:sup>− concentrations in groundwater were primarily distributed in the alluvial plain rather than those in alluvial fan. The spatial pattern of total F contents in the aquifer sediments was similar to that of groundwater F. The results of mineralogy, microstructure, and lithology also indicated that clay and F-bearing minerals (such as apatite, biotite, muscovite, fluorite, clinochlorite, and illite) in sediments provided geogenic sources of groundwater F. Various hydrogeochemical and mineralogical analyses provided corroborating evidence that sediment weathering (particularly silicates), dissolution of F-bearing minerals, and desorption from clay and iron (oxy)hydroxides were important processes that mobilize water-soluble and absorbed F into groundwater. Enrichment of groundwater F in the alluvial plain was attributed to high pH, groundwater flow path, long residence time, and the corresponding enhanced cation exchange of Ca<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup> and Na<ce:sup loc=\"post\">+</ce:sup>, reprecipitation of Ca<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup>, and substitution of F<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−</ce:sup> by OH<ce:sup loc=\"post\">−</ce:sup> under these conditions.

This study focused on the Shaying River Basin, which is characterized by intensive damming, base-flow deficiencies and high N loading. Metagenomics sequencing and molecular ecological network analysis were used to conduct a comparative analysis of N cycling and its coupling effects with carbon (C) and sulfur (S) cycling in different stagnant habitats. Our major findings are listed below. (1) Compared with free-flowing habitats, overlying water in stagnant habitats (reservoirs and sluices) had higher abundances of mineralization and organic nitrogen synthesis genes, and lower abundances of denitrification and nitrification genes. These results indicate that damming enhances the conversion between organic and inorganic N but weakens inorganic N removal. The superposition of high N concentrations also led to inhibition of N removal. (2) The topology of molecular ecological networks showed differentiated coupling effects between cycling of N with C or S. Specifically, methane metabolism in reservoirs with low N concentrations promoted N removal, and the co-occurrence between N and S cycling enhanced the simultaneous removal of N and S. Conversely, co-exclusion between N with C or S cycling functional groups hindered nitrification and denitrification in sluices with high N concentrations. (3) For sediment, a high N concentration enhanced the potential of mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, and anaerobic ammonium oxidation to facilitate inorganic N removal. The co-exclusion between C and N cycling consistently inhibited denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation, and N fixation in different habitats. Co-occurrence of organic S transformation, S mineralization, S reduction genes and N mineralization, organic N synthesis, and denitrification genes promoted N removal. In conclusion, high N concentrations of overlying water and dam-induced stagnation impeded N removal, while the coupling of N with C or S cycling showed different effects on N removal in different stagnant habitats.","PeriodicalId":362,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
