Tracing the Origin of Groundwater Nitrate in an Area Affected by Acid Rain Using Dual Isotopic Composition of Nitrate

Acid rain with a relatively high concentration of ammonium and nitrate can accelerate rock weathering. However, its impact on groundwater nitrate is uncertain. This study evaluated the dual isotopic composition of nitrate (δ15N-NO3- and δ18O-NO3-) from precipitation to groundwater in a rural mountai...
