Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary nutrients required to build biomass and is therefore in high
demand in aquatic ecosystems. Estuaries, however, are frequently inundated with high …

We investigated the spatial distribution and seasonal variation of dissolved inorganic
nitrogen in a large perturbed estuary, the Pearl River Estuary, based on three cruises …

Estuaries are considered as important sources of the global emission of greenhouse gases
(GHGs). Urbanized estuaries often experience eutrophication under strong anthropogenic …

The unique database of water quality measurements made in the Seine estuary over 45
years by the Service de la Navigation de la Seine at Rouen is used here to reconstruct the …

Abstract Downstream from metropolitan Paris (France), a large amount of ammonium is
discharged into the Seine River by the effluents of the wastewater treatment plant at …

The relationship between ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and potential nitrification rates
was examined along a salinity gradient in a New England estuary in spring and late summer …

Annual nitrogen and phosphorus budgets for the whole North Sea taking into account the
most recent data available were established. The area considered has a total surface of …

The diversity and spatio-temporal distribution of ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA) and
Bacteria (AOB) were investigated along a salinity gradient in sediments of the …

Pollution from agriculture and urban effluents influences the ecology and biochemical
functioning of the Seine River. Nitrification dominates nitrogen transformations downstream …

To achieve the objectives of the European Water Framework Directive (EWFD), the Seine
basin Water Authority has constructed a number of prospective scenarios forecasting the …
