Abstract
In recent years, in the nearshore zone of Lake Baikal (Listvennichny Bay), the first signs of the local eutrophication process manifested in changes in the structure of phytocenosis were found. One of the possible reasons for the changes is the increased content of biogenic elements in water. In this article, is considered the annual change in the content and ratio of mineral nitrogen forms in surface waters, selected in the area of Listvyanka settlement, as well as in precipitation at Listvyanka monitoring station being a part of South-Eastern Asia atmospheric precipitations monitoring network (EANET) for the period 2015-2017. The analysis of selected samples was carried out in the accredited laboratory of hydrochemistry and atmospheric chemistry of Limnological Institute SB RAS using standard methods. It was found that the content of mineral nitrogen increases significantly in the mouths of the studied watercourses (up to 0,25–2,29 mg L-1). Mineral nitrogen dissolved in the surface water was represented mainly by nitrate nitrogen (average annual percentage content is 82–98 %). It is established that during the warm season, the average content of ammonium nitrogen in precipitation is 64 %. Nitrate nitrogen dominated in the cold season, the average content of which is 74 %.
The main sources of mineral nitrogen in the studied watercourses are likely to be untreated wastewater ofthe settlement and the numerous tourist infrastructure facilities, as well as atmospheric precipitation containing significant amounts of contaminants.
