TY - T1 - Seasonal variation in nitrification and nitrate-reduction pathways in coastal sediments in the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/27950 T3 - A1 - Jäntti, Helena; Stange, Florian; Leskinen, Elina; Hietanen, Susanna A2 - PB - Y1 - 2011 LA - eng AB - The Baltic Sea is one of the most eutrophic marine areas in the world. The role of nitrogen as a eutrophicating nutrient in the Baltic Sea has remained controversial, due to lack of understanding of nitrogen cycling in the area. We investigated the seasonal variation in sediment nitrification, denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) at two coastal sites in the Gulf of Finland. In addition to the in situ rates, we assessed th...
