Abstract

A field study was conducted to assess the capacity of a lower Mississippi Valley, USA forested wetland to process and assimilate inorganic N. Elevated levels of N-15 labeled NH4 + and NO3 - -N were added to field plots and emissions of 15N2 and N2O and NH4 +- and NO3 - -N concentrations in the floodwater were measured over a 67 d study period. Results are given which show the forested wetland soil can remove significant quantities of NH4 + and NO3 - from the surface water by assimilation and denitrification processes. © 1994 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
