Microbial Nitrate Processing in Shallow Groundwater in a Riparian Forest
We measured denitrification, immobilization, and respiration in microcosms that simulated groundwater conditions in a riparian forest in Rhode Island. Measured rates were compared with rates of NOj" removal measured in a companion study using a groundwater monitoring well network and 10-mo injection of NOf and a bromide tracer to groundwater in the same riparian forest. Limiting factors for den...
متن کاملImpacts Of Hillslope And Floodplain Characteristics On Groundwater Dynamics: Implications For Riparian Denitrification
One of the beneficial roles of riparian buffers is the capacity to attenuate groundwater nitrate before it can discharge to streams. Denitrification is one of the most important processes that permanently removes nitrate from groundwater; it requires anoxic conditions, a carbon source, and a suitable residence time as the reaction is microbially mediated. As denitrification rates are highly dep...
متن کاملDynamics of denitrification activity of Paracoccus denitrificans in continuous culture during aerobic-anaerobic changes.
Induction and repression of denitrification activity were studied in a continuous culture of Paracoccus denitrificans during changes from aerobic to anaerobic growth conditions and vice versa. The denitrification activity of the cells was monitored by measuring the formation of denitrification products (nitrite, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, and dinitrogen), individual mRNA levels for the nitrat...

We present results of an observational and modeling study of the hydrologic response of a riparian wetland to controlled flooding. The study site is located in Poopenaut Valley, Yosemite National Park (USA), adjacent to the Tuolumne River. Thi...
متن کاملPatchiness in Microbial Nitrogen Transformations in Groundwater in a Riparian Forest
We measured microbial N transformations in 15 cm diam. by 40 cm intact horizontal sections of aquifer material (mesocosms), taken from a riparian forest in Rhode Island, USA, incubated under ambient conditions. The mesocosms allowed us to measure these transformations on the same scale as hydrologic tracer methods (Br-/NO~ratios) that measure net NO~removal. Our objective was to reconcile discr...
