Piehler, M. F., Thompson, S., Dyble, J., Moisander, P., Fear, J., and Paerl, H. W. (2002). Biologically mediated nitrogen dynamics in eutrophying estuaries. Assessing denitrification, nitrogen fixation and primary productivity responses to proposed N loading reductions in the Neuse River Estuary 339, Water Resources Research Institute of the University of North Carolina, Raliegh, NC. 

Biologically mediated reactions (e.g., assimilation, nitrification, and denitrification) strongly control nitrogen dynamics in the soil, as briefly described below. These reactions almost always result in enrichment of the substrate and depletion of the product.
