Abstract

A submodel for the aerobic and anaerobic nitrogen release from sediment is set up. It was found that the rate of nitrogen release, R is correlated to the nitrogen content by the following equations:R an=84 S, N+1.6(anaerobic),R ae=58 S, n+1.9(aerobic) where: S N is N/ml in the sediment. The influence of temperature is included by use of an exponential expression, since the release is governed by a biochemical decomposition of organic matter.
