Consumption rates of NH4+ [R(NH4+)] and total inorganic nitrogen [R(Ni)] of the sediment as a function of the density of T. heterochaetus in the microcosm experiments. The solid lines indicate linear regression of the data. The equations of the straight lines were y = 0.72x + 890 (with r2 = 0.75) (NH4+ consumption) and y = 1.72x + 1,200 (with r2 = 0.88) (total inorganic nitrogen consumption). ind., individuals.
