Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The rates of nitrification in the water column of the Tamar river estuary, southwest England have been measured using the incorporation of H14CO3 in samples with and without the inhibitor of nitrification, 2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl) pyridine (N-Serve). N-Serve proved successful in totally inhibiting NH4-oxidizing bacteria but the activity of NO2-oxidizing bacteria was inhibited by only 30%; other organisms were only slightly affected. Measurements of the nitrification rate made over the entire salinity range of the estuary (0–30‰) showed that maximum nitrification always coincided with the turbidity maximum. The field data suggest that the organisms responsible for nitrification were associated with periodically resuspended particulate material and that the turbidity maximum acts in a manner similar to a fluidized bed reactor. A dispersion model has been used to demonstrate that nitrification in the water column can account for 100% of the NO2 maximum which is apparent down estuary from the turbidity maximum.
