Abstract
- Microbial mats swell on mud flat and marshy surface sediments and display high nitrogen fixation rates during the day. Denitrification rates for the mats increase in the dark. Nitrification rates for both the sites reach a peak in summer and the denitrification rates assume highest values in fall.
