Nitrogen removal and nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria quantification in a stormwater bioretention system

In this study, we examine the biological processes involved in ammonia and nitrate removal in a bioretention system characterized by low infiltration rates and long drainage times. The system removed 33% of influent nitrate and 56% of influent total nitrogen. While influent ammonia concentrations we...
