Abstract

Wetland sediment is an important nitrogen pool and a source of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Modification of coastal wetland landscape due to plant invasion and aquaculture activities may drastically change this N pool and the related dynamics of N2O. This study measured the sediment prope...
