Sandy seepage faces as bioactive nitrate reactors: Biogeochemistry, microbial ecology and metagenomics

Subterranean estuaries are highly dynamic in processing dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN). Here we investigate DIN turnover in surface sediments (0–20 cm depth) at the higher, medium and lower intertidal of a seepage face, i.e., the outer “mouth” of the subterranean estuary, during four consecutive...
