Inorganic nitrogen in the shallow groundwater of the Kampinoski National Park

The presence of mineral forms of nitrogen in the ground waters of the Kampinoski National Park (KPN) varies considerably. The research results have shown that during the nitrogen changes within the active exchange zone, nitrification processes prevail in the KPN area and the surroundings. Denitrification processes occurs as second-rate mainly to the swamp environment. The type and intensity of specific processes depends on the genesis of the environment concerned, the content of oxygen and redox conditions. The analysis of the concentration of mineral nitrogen forms can be used to asses the degree of anthropopressure in the area of the park itself and its protection zone
