| Abstract: |
| Groundwater samples were randomly collected from 120 wells in the selected Jinjing River catchment, Changsha County, Hunan Province, in the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of 2013-2014, to determine landscape pattern effects on groundwater nitrate concentrations(NO3--N) using the Moran's I index and spatial lag regression analysis. The results suggested that:groundwater NO3--N pollution occurred in the catchment, with 4.9%~17.5% samples exceeding the WHO drinking water standards(>10 mg N·L-1), and particularly higher pollution frequencies in summer and winter than those in spring and autumn seasons; groundwater NO3--N concentrations showed obvious spatial auto-correlation mainly due to the NO3--N transport through groundwater flow, and the Moran's global indices were greater in summer and autumn(0.254~0.277) than in spring and winter(0.152~0.170) at the catchment scale; groundwater NO3--N concentrations significantly related to the areal proportion of agriculture, forest, and residential area when fitted by the spatial lag regression model(P<0.05), and their determine coefficients of fitting strongly varied with seasons and the radius from the wells. Therefore, the results could provide technical basis for reasonable landscape planning to protect the groundwater environment and drinking water safety in subtropical hilly agricultural catchments. |
