Physical and biological drivers of sediment oxygenation and denitrification in a New Zealand intermittently closed and open lake lagoon

Temperature Sensitivity of Freshwater Denitrification and N2O Emission—A Meta‐Analysis

“…A knowledge gap therefore exists for tropical ecosystems and ecosystems south of the equator in general, as only one study from South America (Veraart et al., 2012), one from Africa (Roland et al., 2017) and few from Australia and New Zealand were identified (see for instance Crawshaw et al. (2019), an overview is presented in Table S1 of Supporting Information S1). While additional datasets may have been published (see for instance Borges et al.…”

“…We should note that most of the studies included in our meta-analysis were conducted in Europe, Northern America and Asia. A knowledge gap therefore exists for tropical ecosystems and ecosystems south of the equator in general, as only one study from South America (Veraart et al, 2012), one from Africa (Roland et al, 2017) and few from Australia and New Zealand were identified (see for instance Crawshaw et al (2019), an overview is presented in Table S1 of Supporting Information S1). While additional datasets may have been published (see for instance Borges et al (2015) for an overview on N 2 O emissions from African rivers), these were not picked up by our systematic literature search.…”

“…Once the pollutants are ingested by organisms, they can be bioaccumulated and hence could affect entire food chains (Somero, 1992). Also, they take part in the organic matter (OM) sink process and oxygen transport to subsurface layers (Crawshaw et al, 2019) promoting bacterial activity (Parkes et al, 1994). Moreover, they affect sediment transport through the increase of system's susceptibility to erosion (Grant et al, 1982), and can also modify fine sediment by feeding and transforming it into larger defecated pellets, thereby increasing the porosity of soft bottoms.…”
