Spatial and historic variability of benthic nitrogen cycling in an anthropogenically impacted estuary

Human activities have dramatically altered reactive nitrogen (N) availability in coastal ecosystems globally. Here we used a gradient of N loading found in a shallow temperate estuary (Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts, USA) to examine how key biogeochemical processes respond to environmental change over...
