Nitrogen Dynamics in a Degraded Urban Stream: Can the Patient be...

Urbanization degrades stream ecosystems by altering hydrology and nutrient dynamics. We investigated temporal and spatial patterns in biogeochemistry and hydrology in and near the stream channel of a geomorphically degraded urban stream of Baltimore County, Maryland, USA.

Our objectives were to examine relationships among biogeochemistry, denitrification enzyme activity, and hydrologic characteristics including stream discharge and water table elevation to characterize N dynamics in at the ground water-surface water interface of a degraded urban stream so that we could investigate factors...
