Efficiency of reactive nitrogen removal in a model Mediterranean high-mountain lake and its downwater river ecosystem: Biotic and abiotic controls

High-mountain lakes and rivers are usually oligotrophic and strongly influenced by atmospheric transport processes. Thus, wet deposition of reactive N species (Nr), mainly in the form of nitrate (NO3−), is a major source of N input in these high-mountain ecosystems. Bacterial denitrifiers are though...
