Dissimilatory nitrate reduction pathways drive high nitrous oxide emissions and nitrogen retention under the flash drought in the largest freshwater lake in China
Flash drought (FD) events induced by climate change may disrupt the normal hydrological regimes of floodplain lakes and affect the plant-microbe mediated dissimilatory nitrate reduction (DNR), i.e., denitrification, anammox and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), thus having important consequences for nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and nitrogen (N) retention. However, the responses of the DNR pathways in the floodplain lake to the record-breaking FD in 2022 in Yangtze River of China, as well as the underlying microbial mechanisms and feedbacks to climate change remain poorly understood. Here, we collected exposed sediments and Carex cinerascens–associated soils in the littoral wetlands of Poyang Lake during 2022 FD and the dry seasons prior to and after this event. The potential DNR rates and the synergistic metabolism of microbial guilds involved in DNR were investigated using 15N isotope pairing technique, high-throughput and metagenomic sequencing. We found that the in situ N2O fluxes in the littoral wetlands were highest during the flash drought, especially in the exposed sediments. The potential DNRA rates were highest under flash drought conditions, and DNRA dominated the DNR for both exposed sediments (80.4 %) and Carex cinerascens-associated soils (57.5 %). Nutrients (i.e., N and P) and DNRA bacterial communities played a key role in producing the extremely high N2O fluxes from exposed sediments, which could be explained by the synergistic metabolism of DNRA bacteria and denitrifiers through the exchange of the key intermediates in DNR. Therefore, the climate change–induced flash drought promoted greater nitrous oxide emissions and N retention in the littoral wetlands of Poyang Lake, producing a greater flux of greenhouse gas emissions and elevating the risk of lake eutrophication. Hence, flash droughts reinforce a positive feedback between climate change and nitrous oxide emission from these aquatic ecosystems.

Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
