Benthic nitrite exchanges in the Seine River (France): An early diagenetic modeling analysis.
Published in The Science of the total environment
Nitrite is a toxic intermediate compound in the nitrogen (N) cycle. Elevated concentrations of nitrite have been observed in the Seine River, raising questions about its sources and fate. Here, we assess the role of bottom sediments as potential sources or sinks of nitrite along the river continuum. Sediment cores were collected from two depocenter...
