The Dominant Role of the Water Column in Nitrogen Removal and N2O Emissions in Large Rivers

Abstract Rivers are important sites for nitrogen (N) cycling processes. N removal is thought to occur predominantly in the benthic zone and the role of the water column is frequently neglected. Here, we find that the water‐air and sediment‐water fluxes of N2 and N2O decreased, while the water column...
