Flood-controlled excess-air formation favors aerobic respiration and limits denitrification activity in riparian groundwater

Flood-controlled excess-air formation favors aerobic respiration and limits denitrification activity in riparian groundwater

The saturated riparian zones of rivers act as spatially and temporally variable biogeochemical reactors. This complicates the assessment of biogeochemical transport and transformation processes. During a flood event, excess-air formation, i.e. the inclusion and dissolution of air bubbles into ground...
