Present nitrogen and carbon dynamics in the Scheldt estuary using a novel 1-D model

A 1-D, pelagic, reactive-transport model of a completely mixed, turbid, heterotrophic estuary – the Scheldt estuary – is presented. The model resolves major carbon and nitrogen species and oxygen, as well as pH. The model features two organic matter degradation pathways, oxic mineralisation and deni...
