description abstractDepth-dependent oxygen concentrations and aqueous-phase total ammonia and nitrate/nitrite ion concentrations were measured in the field during the infiltration of wastewater effluent. Measurements illustrated the dependence of nitrogen fate and transport on oxygen availability. Infiltration basins were operated by alternating wet (infiltration) and dry periods. During infiltration periods, ammonia was removed within the top few feet of sediments via adsorption. Biochemical activity rapidly eliminated residual molecular oxygen in the infiltrate, making the soil profile anoxic. During dry periods, oxygen reentered the basin profile and sorbed ammonia was converted to nitrate via nitrification. Oxygen penetrated to a depth of about
