Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen Flux and Mineralization in Waquoit Bay Sediments as Measured by Core Incubations

Higher rates of nitrogen flux and mineralization result from nitrogen loading, seemingly indicating that nitrogen loading triggers faster nitrogen cycling in estuary sediments. However, there does not seem to be any correlation between the rates of land-derived nitrogen loading and rates of denitrif...

Zusammenfassung:Higher rates of nitrogen flux and mineralization result from nitrogen loading, seemingly indicating that nitrogen loading triggers faster nitrogen cycling in estuary sediments. However, there does not seem to be any correlation between the rates of land-derived nitrogen loading and rates of denitrification in estuary sediments. These were found in a study of nitrogen cycling in sediments at two sites in Waquoit Bay, MA.
