Nitrogen Dynamics in Wetland Systems and Its Impact on Biodiversity

Wetlands are viable sinks for nitrate and have also been identified as a source of nitrous oxide, product two microbially regulated processes: nitrification denitrification. Anthropogenic expansion nitrogen is leading cause the eutrophication water bodies may contribute to deterioration ozone layer in stratosphere. ameliorate quality percolating through them, by retaining nutrients sequestering carbon, simultaneously enhancing flora fauna diversity these landscapes. Among many services wetlands provide, they alleviate pollution attenuating reactive from agricultural drainage ensure effective reclamation wastewater. The literature regarding viability suggests linear relationship between removal its loading rate, thereby suggesting potential loss capacity due wetland area. This review discusses mechanisms existing along with environmental variables affecting optimum performance management wetlands, terms greenhouse gas retention biodiversity. Conservation should be contemplated maintain world-wide cycle diminish negative repercussions surplus loading.
