Record 2 2008-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Pollution
DEF

Water with a low concentration of oxygen.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pollution de l'eau
CONT

Les eaux naturelles faiblement concentrées en oxygène dissous (2 mg/L et moins), sont nuisibles à plusieurs espèces aquatiques; on qualifie ces eaux d’hypoxiques. [...] La superficie couverte par les eaux hypoxiques de l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent est d’environ 1000 km²; le pourcentage de saturation en oxygène y est d’à peine 15%. Le présent projet de recherche a pour but d’examiner les causes probables des faibles teneurs en oxygène des eaux profondes du chenal laurentien.

Record 3 2007-07-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Tillage Operations (Agriculture)
DEF

A process by which nitrates or nitrites are reduced with the formation of nitrites nitrogen oxides, ammonia, or free nitrogen and which is commonly brought about (as in the soil or in sewage) by denitrifying bacteria usually resulting in the escape of nitrogen into the air.

CONT

Denitrification takes place under special conditions in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In general, it occurs when oxygen ... is depleted, and bacteria turn to nitrate in order to respire organic matter. Because our atmosphere is rich with oxygen, denitrification only takes place in some soils and groundwater, wetlands, poorly ventilated corners of the ocean, and in seafloor sediments.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Travaux du sol (Agriculture)
CONT

La dénitrification est un phénomène biochimique qui s’opère en profondeur dans le sol, sous l'action de bactéries spécifiques, satisfaisant leur besoin en oxygène en sol hypoxique ou anoxique, par une désoxygénation des ions nitrates.

OBS

Les nitrates du sol sont transformés en azote gazeux ou en composés volatils, perdus pour les plantes.
