  abstract = {{A}mmonium affinity of {N}ew {C}aledonia lagoon benthic communities was measured during the course of 33 #in situ$ enrichment experiments, in order to estimate the contribution of benthos to ammonium fluxes. {A}mmonium chloride was injected into enclosures pushed into the sediment ... {A}mmonium kinetic uptake was then followed for two yours. {G}rey-sand bottom displayed the highest affinity was the same order of magnitude. {M}acrophytes, and microphytes (when macrophytes are absent), account for the bulk of ammonium bottom uptake. {A}s a result, grey-sand bottoms with their dense macrophyte cover represent a sink for water column nitrogen and play a key role in nutrient cycling of the lagoon.
