Abstract:<p>Denitrification in unsaturated soils is widely assumed to be a result a result of the formation of so-called hot spots. However, this is a hypothesis, which is hard to test experimentally. Furthermore a better understanding of the microscale dynamics might be very helpful to derive better models at the macroscale.</p><p>Experiments have been conducted, where artificial aggregates from sintered glas have been inocculated with microorganisms and been placed in environ… Show more
