A study quantifying denitrification, anammox, and DNRA rates in mangrove habitats and adjacent bare flats. The dataset, created by Ziyan WANG and last updated in May 2026, supports findings on how coastal geomorphology influences nitrogen removal pathways. It is a small dataset (14.6 KB) stored in an XLSX file.
Use Cases
- Comparing nitrogen removal efficiency between estuarine and open-coast mangrove settings based on measured denitrification and anammox rates.
- Analyzing the dominance of DNRA in sandy, open-coast sediments based on high DOC to nitrate ratios.
- Investigating the role of mangrove vegetation in suppressing or enhancing specific nitrogen transformation pathways based on sediment chemistry and oxygen penetration depth.
- Modeling baseline nitrogen cycling processes in coastal wetlands using quantified rates of denitrification, anammox, and DNRA.
Strengths
- Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.
- The description provides specific, quantitative findings, such as an 18-fold higher N removal in estuarine settings and DNRA constituting 63% of nitrate reduction in open-coast settings.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The dataset is very small (14.6 KB), indicating a limited scope of measurements.
