Abstract
⺠Benthic fluxes of O2, N2 and inorganic nitrogen were measured in a eutrophic lagoon. ⺠Sediments with microphytobenthos were net heterotrophic and recycled N. ⺠Sediments with macroalgae were net autotrophic and acted as temporary N sink. ⺠Denitrification was not suppressed by macroalgae. ⺠Macroalgal N uptake was one order of magnitude higher than denitrification.
