High denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation contributes to net nitrogen loss in a seagrass ecosystem in the central Red Sea (2018)
Journal Article
Garcias-Bonet, N., Fusi, M., Ali, M., Shaw, D. R., Saikaly, P. E., Daffonchio, D., & Duarte, C. M. (2018). High denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation contributes to net nitrogen loss in a seagrass ecosystem in the central Red Sea. Biogeosciences, 15(23), 7333-7346. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-7333-2018

Nitrogen loads in coastal areas have increased dramatically, with detrimental consequences for coastal ecosystems. Shallow sediments and seagrass meadows are hotspots for denitrification, favoring N loss. However, atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) fixation...
