Nitrogen processes in aquatic ecosystems
Original language description
Freshwater ecosystems play a key role in the European nitrogen (N) cycle, both as a reactive agent that transfers, stores and processes N loadings from the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems, and as a natural environment severely impacted by the increase of these loadings. This chapter is a review of major processes and factors controlling N transport and transformations for running waters, standing waters and riparian wetlands. The major factor controlling N processes in freshwater ecosystems is theresidence time of water, which varies widely both in space and in time, and which is sensitive to changes in climate, land use and management. The effects of increased N loading to European freshwaters include acifidication in semi-natural environments,and eutrophication in more disturbed ecosystems, with associated loss of biodiversity in both cases. An important part of the N transferred by surface waters is in the form of organic N, as dissolved organic N a particulate organic N. Th
