Abstract
In low-nutrient, macrophyte-dominated coastal zones, benthic ammonium (NH4+) uptake may be influenced by the structural properties of plant canopies via their effect on near-bed hydrodynamics. Using a dual-tracer (uranine and 15NH4+) method that does not require enclosures, we examined how this process affects nutrient uptake rates within a tidally dominated,
