Effect of Carbon source on dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in Costal Wetland sediments

15N tracing technique was applied to investigate the effects of various organic carbon (OC) sources on dissimilatory nitrate (NO3-)reduction to ammonium (NH4+) (DNRA) rates in the coastal wetland sediments. Soils collected from the Chongming Dongtan wetland were incubated at 25ºC in the dark for 24...
