The formation of atmospheric nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria
may represent a significant nutrient sink in natural ecosystems.
The rate of denitrification has often been difficult to measure in
situ, however, and new methodologies should stimulate research on
distribution of activity in space and time. The load of fertilizer
nitrogen in modem agriculture has led to increasing nutrient
reservoirs in recipient subsoils, aquifers, inland waters and
coastal seas. By its conversion of nitrate to atmospheric nitrogen,
bacterial denitrification is the only biological process to
potentially reduce the impact of increasing nutrient loadings by
fertilizer nitrogen in the environment. As part of a scientific
program set up by the Danish Ministry of Environment to study
environment cycling of nitrogen, phosphorous and organic matter
(NPO program) in the light of agricultural, domestic and industrial
activities, a symposium on DENITRIFICATION IN SOIL AND SEDIMENT was
held at the University of Aarhus, Denmark from 6-9 June 19i\9. On
the basis of lectures given at the symposium, this book contains a
number of invited contributions on the regulation of
denitrification activity (control of enzyme synthesis and activity)
and measurement of in situ rates of denitrification in terrestrial
and aquatic environments (control factors, diel and seasonal
variations, etc). Emphasis has been placed on including the recent
improvements in methodologies and current understanding of process
regulation, however the book also contains examples of integrated
research on the significance of denitrification in environmental
nutrient cycling.
