Tidal-flats play important roles in oceanic nitrogen (N) cycles. Particularly, N loss in the tidal-flats depends on soil texture and yet the dominant N removal mechanism in relation to soil texture is not clear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of soil texture on...
