Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled to iron(III) reduction (termed Feammox) is a recently discovered pathway of nitrogen cycling. However, little is known about the pathways of N transformation via Feammox process in riparian zones. In this study, evidence for Feammox in riparian zones with or without vegetation cover was demonstrated using isotope tracing technique and high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that Feammox could occur in riparian zones, and demonstrated that N directly from Feammox was dominant Feammox pathway. The Feammox rates in vegetated soil samples was 0.32-0.37 mg N kg d, which is higher than that in un-vegetated soil samples (0.20 mg N kg d). Moreover, the growth of vegetation led to a 4.99-6.41% increase in the abundance of iron reducing bacteria (Anaeromyxobacter, Pseudomonas and Geobacter) and iron reducing bacteria play an essential role in Feammox process. An estimated loss of 23.7-43.9 kg N ha year was associated with Feammox in the examined riparian zone. Overall, the co-occurrence of ammonium oxidation and iron reduction suggest that Feammox can play an essential role in the pathway of nitrogen removal in riparian zones.

This study delves into the multi-scale temporal and spatial variations of soil heat flux (G) within riparian zones and its correlation with net radiation (Rn) across six riparian woodlands in Shanghai, each characterized by distinct vegetation types. The objective is to assess the complex interrelations between G and Rn, and how these relationships are influenced by varying vegetation and seasons. Over the course of a year, data on G and Rn is collected to investigate their dynamics.

Hydrologic alterations associated with urbanization can weaken connections between riparian zones, streams, and uplands, leading to negative effects on the ability of riparian zones to intercept pollutants carried by surface water runoff and groundwater flow such as nitrate (NO ) and phosphate (PO ). We analyzed the monthly water table as an indicator of riparian connectivity, along with groundwater NO and PO concentrations, at four riparian sites within and near the Gwynns Falls Watershed in Baltimore, MD, from 1998 to 2018. The sites included one forested reference site (Oregon Ridge), two suburban riparian sites (Glyndon and Gwynnbrook), and one urban riparian site (Cahill) with at least two locations and four monitoring wells, located 5 m from the center of the stream, at each site.

Riparian zones are recognized as major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH). Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) has garnered growing attention due to its significant contribution to mitigating CH emissions in wetland environments. Nonetheless, the specific role and microbial mechanisms of DAMO in controlling CH release within riparian zones are still not well comprehended.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how riparian zones, crucial for nitrate removal, are affected by natural organic compounds and their influence on microbial communities, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
- Different carbon sources were tested for their effectiveness in degrading nitrate, with butyric acid showing the highest efficiency, although it led to nitrogen cycling rather than complete removal.
- Microbial communities responded variably to carbon conditions, with some promoting denitrification and others facilitating nitrification, indicating that carbon source selection significantly impacts nitrogen cycling processes in these environments.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how human activity affects the relationship between landscape patterns and water quality in three rivers of the Poyang Lake Basin in China.
- It found that as human activity increases, the influence of riparian zone landscape patterns on water quality becomes more significant compared to sub-basin landscape patterns.
- Critical landscape metrics, such as construction land, farmland, and forestland, were identified as key factors affecting water quality at varying levels of human activity.
