The Effect of Chironomid Larvae on Nitrogen Cycling and Microbial Communities in Soft Sediments

The Effect of Chironomid Larvae on Nitrogen Cycling and Microbial Communities in Soft Sediments

The combination of biogeochemical methods and molecular techniques has the potential to uncover the black-box of the nitrogen (N) cycle in bioturbated sediments. Advanced biogeochemical methods allow the quantification of the process rates of different microbial processes, whereas molecular tools al...
