The effects and mechanisms of high ammonium (NH4+) stress on nitrogen transformation and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions of attached biofilms on different substrate were investigated. Under high ammonium-nitrogen conditions, the nitrification potential of epiphytic biofilms associated with Vallisneria natans and Ceratophyllum demersum increased by 27.1-fold and 10.2-fold, respectively, whereas denitrification was suppressed, resulting in nitrogen accumulation. High NH4+ levels promoted N2O emissions associated with nitrification; however, N2O production during nitrification accounted for only up to 1.28% of that from denitrification, and denitrification was the main pathway of N2O emissions. Under high NH4+ stress, the increased abundances of nitrifying bacteria and genes but decreased denitrifiers contributed to changes in nitrogen transformation activities. Concurrently, the N2O emission potential (nirS/nosZ and nirK/nosZ) increased by 90% and 59%, which enhanced N2O emissions. Notably, artificial plant biofilms exhibited the highest nitrification and denitrification activities, whereas N2O emission from attached biofilms on Vallisneria natans was only 65.92%~82.76% of those from artificial plants and Ceratophyllum demersum L., suggesting dual regulation by functional microbial composition and microenvironment.
