Little is known about the spatial variability and factors contributing to denitrification potential in shallow groundwater systems in the Manawatu River catchment. The objectives of the study, therefore, are (1) to determine the spatial variability of the denitrification potential in shallow groundwater, (2) to identify the factors affecting this denitrification potential, and (3) to quantify denitrification in selected sites in the catchment.15 pagesen© The Authors and FLRCdenitrificationshallow groundwatersConference Contribution - publishedANZSRC::060204 Freshwater EcologyANZSRC::079902 Fertilisers and Agrochemicals (incl.
