Nitrification in a seagrass-sponge association

Johanna Berlinghof, Luis M. Montilla, Travis Blake Meador, Luigi Gallucci, Donato Giovannelli, Harald Gruber-Vodicka, Maira Maselli, Francesca Margiotta, Christian Wild, Ulisse Cardini

This study measures nitrification rates and nitrogen fluxes in a seagrass-sponge association, finding that the sponge supports the seagrass holobiont's nitrogen demand during growth and senescence.
