Brief Summary

Harmful algal blooms in coastal waters have been linked to dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) enrichment (Lewitus et al., 1999; Glibert et al., 2001; 2006).
The partitioning and reactivity of organic N in rivers and estuaries are generally poorly quantified.
As a result, there are major uncertainties regarding the factors controlling the flux of N from estuaries to coastal seas.
