Nitrogen removal in freshwater sediments of riparian zone: N-loss pathways and environmental controls [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The riparian zone is an important location of nitrogen removal in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Many studies have focused on the nitrogen removal efficiency and one or two nitrogen removal processes in the riparian zone, and less attention has ...

Nitrate removal in a restored riparian groundwater system: functioning and importance of individual riparian zones [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Abstract. For the design and the assessment of river restoration projects, it is important to know to what extent the elimination of reactive nitrogen (N) can be improved in the riparian groundwater. We investigated the effectiveness of different riparian zones, characterized by a riparian vegetation succession, on nitrate (NO3−) removal from ...
