Microenvironments on individual sand grains enhance nitrogen loss in coastal sediments

Abstract The permeable silicate sediments which cover more than 50% of the continental shelves are a major, but poorly constrained sink for the vast amount of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) that enters the ocean. Surface-attached microbial communities on sand grains remove fixed-N via denitrification, a...
