Human activities add large quantities of nitrogen to the environment, much of which gets washed into streams and rivers. These waterways transport some of that nitrogen to the oceans, but they also ...

After more than a decade of inquiry, a team of scientists has turned the tables on a long-standing controversy to re-establish an old truth about nitrogen mixing in the oceans. After more than a ...

Excess nitrogen from agricultural and urban lands is contaminating groundwater, streams, lakes and estuaries, where it causes harmful algal blooms and contributes to fish kills. Cost-effective ...

These two processes play a pivotal role in the removal of excess nitrogen from ecosystems. This research sheds light on the multi-dimensional spatial patterns of denitrification and anammox along a ...

A study by the University of Basel reveals that climate change could disrupt the natural purification process in lakes, weakening denitrification where microorganisms convert nitrogen compounds into ...

Lakes like Lake Baldegg act as natural nitrogen sinks, helping protect downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution. Climate warming is weakening this important filtering function (Photo: courtesy of ...

After more than a decade of inquiry, a Princeton-led team of scientists has turned the tables on a long-standing controversy to re-establish an old truth about nitrogen mixing in the oceans. For ...
