Over 60 natural streams with forested catchments were surveyed for nitrate (NO3−) concentration in central Japan. Stream NO3−concentrations showed a clear zonal gradient with a range nearly as large as 100-fold, where their small seasonal variations (av. CV = 27%) justified respective statuses. Elevated NO3−concentrations (more than 70 µM) described a distribution of N saturation along a course of polluted air advection in the Kanto Plain. The extent of NO3−leaching from forests was not proportional to atmospheric N deposition probably because of ecosystem N retention. A dependency of NO3−level on the watershed altitude and quite constant δ15N of stream NO3−over a wide NO3−range were observed, which could be also related to this cause.
