Comparing the biogeochemical functioning of two arid subtropical coastal lagoons: the effect of wastewater discharges

Nutrient flux, net metabolism, and N2 fixation and denitrification processes were estimated and compared in two semi-arid subtropical coastal lagoons in the Gulf of California: El Soldado (ES), where no wastewater is discharged, and El Rancho (ER), where shrimp farm effluents are regularly discharge...
