  Excess ammonia (NH3) emissions and deposition can have negative effects on air quality and terrestrial ecosystems. Identifying NH3 sources is a critical step for effectively reducing NH3 emissions, which are generally unregulated around the world. Stable nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) of ammonium (NH4+) in precipitation have been directly used to partition NH3 sources. However, nitrogen isotope fractionation during atmospheric processes from NH3 sources to sinks has been previously overlooked. Here we measured δ15N -NH4+ in precipitation on a daily basis at a rural forested site in Northeast China over three years to examine its seasonal pattern and attempt to constrain the NH3 sources. We found that the NH4+ concentrations in precipitation ranged from 5 to 1265 μM, and NH4+accounted for 65% of the inorganic nitrogen deposition (20.0 kg N ha-1 yr-1) over the study period. The δ15N values of NH4+ fluctuated from -24.6 to +16.2‰ (average -6.5‰) and showed a repeatable seasonal pattern with higher values in summer (average -2.3‰) than in winter (average -16.4‰), which could not be explained by only the seasonal changes in the NH3 sources. Our results suggest that in addition to the NH3 sources, isotope equilibrium fractionation contributed to the seasonal pattern of δ15N -NH4+ in precipitation, and thus, nitrogen isotope fractionation should be considered when partitioning NH3 sources based on δ15N-NH4+ in precipitation.
