Abstract
âºWe examine the effect of emergent macrophytes on the nitrification-denitrification pathway. ⺠We use a modified 15NH4+ whole core perfusion technique in a flooded agricultural wetland. ⺠Vegetation enhances sub-surface coupled nitrification-denitrification versus control cores. ⺠Air movement has a large positive effect on sub-surface coupled nitrification-denitrification. ⺠Sub-surface N losses were more important than losses from the surface oxic/anoxic interface.
