Abstract
Tidal flat sediments are subject to repetitive mixing
and resuspension events. In a short-term (24 h) 15Nlabelling
experiment, we investigated reactive nitrogen cycling
in a tidal flat sediment following an experimentally induced
resuspension event. We focused on (a) the relative importance
of assimilatory versus dissimilatory processes and
(b) the role of benthic microalgae therein. 15N-labelled substrate
was
