N1 - Restored oyster reefs may promote denitrification (i.e., anaerobic respiration of nitrate to dinitrogen gas, N 2), via benthic deposition of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)-rich wastes (biodeposits). This has not been measured in eutrophic ecosystems, where denitrification is a potential oyster-mediated ecosystem service. We tested oysters' influence on sediment C and N dynamics in eutrophic conditions.
