Bottom trawling reduces benthic denitrification and has the potential to influence the global nitrogen cycle
Abstract Bottom trawling and eutrophication are large stressors that are critically coupled. Here we show, using a before‐after control‐effect design, the significant reduction in denitrification as a result of experimental bottom trawling in a shallow coastal system. Trawl disturbance destroys the...
