Denitrification and nutrient assimilation on a restored oyster reef
Open accessAbstract
At a restored reef site and a control site in the Choptank River, Maryland, USA, we partially quantified the effect of oyster reef restoration on the removal of nutrients from the water column by determining seasonal fluxes of oxygen (O 2 ), ammonium (NH 4 + ), combined nitrate and nitrite (NO 2+ 3 ), di-nitrogen (N 2 ) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and by assessing the assimilation of nutrients by macrofauna.Fluxes of O 2 , NH 4 + , NO 2+ 3 and SRP at the restored site were enhanced by at least one order of magnitude during all seasons.Seasonal denitrification rates at the restored site, measured as flux of N 2 -N, ranged from 0.3 to 1.6 mmol N 2 -N m -2 h -1 , with August rates among the highest ever recorded for an aquatic system.In addition to oysters (131 oysters m -2 ; average shell height = 114 mm; age = 2 to 7 yr), the restored reef provided habitat for 24 585 other macrobenthic organisms per square meter compared to 2265 organisms m -2 at the control site.Restoration enhanced the average standing stock of assimilated nutrients by 95 g N m -2 and 15 g P m -2 .Nitrogen and phosphorus in shells of live oysters and mussels accounted for 47 and 48% of total nitrogen and phosphorus standing stocks, respectively.Our results demonstrate that oyster reef restoration can significantly increase denitrification rates and enhance nutrient sequestration via assimilation into bivalve shells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
