Nitrous oxide fluxes in estuarine environments: response to global change

RH Murray, DV Erler, BD Eyre - Global change biology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Nitrous oxide is a powerful, long‐lived greenhouse gas, but we know little about the role of
estuarine areas in the global N2O budget. This review summarizes 56 studies of N2O fluxes …

Marine hypoxia/anoxia as a source of CH4 and N2O

Hotspot of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) process in freshwater sediments of riparian zones

S Wang, Y Pi, Y Song, Y Jiang, L Zhou, W Liu, G Zhu - Water Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), an important intermediate process in

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in traditional municipal wastewater treatment plants in China: widespread but low contribution

S Wang, C Liu, X Wang, D Yuan, G Zhu - Water research, 2020 - Elsevier
Recent reports on the occurrence and contribution of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to
ammonium (DNRA) in marine, inland water, and soil systems have greatly improved our …

Habitat‐specific distinctions in estuarine denitrification affect both ecosystem function and services

MF Piehler, AR Smyth - Ecosphere, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Resource limitation controls the base of food webs in many aquatic ecosystems. In coastal
ecosystems, nitrogen (N) has been found to be the predominant limiting factor for primary …

Nitrous oxide and methane in European coastal waters

HW Bange - Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2006 - Elsevier
Coastal areas such as continental shelves, estuaries, deltas, fjords and lagoons can release
high amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. However …

Impact of clam and mussel farming on benthic metabolism and nitrogen cycling, with emphasis on nitrate reduction pathways
