Funded Activity Summary
Seagrass denitrification: importance for global nitrogen budgets. The objective of this project is to use cutting-edge techniques to measure denitrification rates in communities dominated by different tropical and temperate seagrass species. Denitrification is a globally significant critical ecosystem process, but it is poorly understood in seagrass communities. This project is significant because of the potential importance of seagrass communities for nitrogen loss via denitrification in coastal systems and the importance of coastal systems in the global nitrogen budget. The expected outcomes of this study may significantly advance our understanding of the functioning of coastal systems and global nitrogen budgets.Funded Activity Details
