Quantity-activity relationship of denitrifying bacteria and environmental scaling in streams of a forested watershed

January 1, 2006

The spatial variability of subreach denitrification rates in streams was evaluated with respect to controlling environmental conditions, molecular examination of denitrifying bacteria, and dimensional analysis. Denitrification activities ranged from 0 and 800 ng-N gsed-1 d-1 with large variations observed within short distances (
