The NICE project will study the fate of anthropogenic nitrogen discharged into estuaries and coastal waters. The removal of nitrogen in these waters will be quantified in order to evaluate to what extent nitrogen is being transported from land to the open seas. The importance of benthic primary producers, tidal amplitude and climate on nitrogen cycling will be investigated.
NICE is a project funded by the European Union under the
framework of MAST III
(Marine Science and Technology III) and ELOISE
(European Land-Ocean Interaction Studies). The project started in June 1996 and is
scheduled to run for 3 years.
