Nitrification rates in a headwater stream: influences of seasonal variation in C and N supply

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Nitrification, the chemoautotrophic process by which NH4-N is converted to NO,-N, is an integral biogeochemical transformation in stream ecosystems. Previous research has shown that experimental addition of dissolved organic C inhibits rates of nitrification, and that NH4Keywords nitrification
