Nitrogen dynamics in a highly urbanized coastal area of western Japan: impact of sewage-derived loads

Abstract In this study, we examined the nitrogen dynamics of a highly urbanized coastal area, focusing on the impacts of sewage-derived nitrogen. High levels of dissolved inorganic nitrogen were detected in seawater near treated sewage effluent (TSE) discharge points before decreasing in the offshor...
