Nitrogen removal occurs primarily through microbially mediated denitrification, which produces the GHG N2O, and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), which does not. Warming stimulates denitrification relative to annamox in subtropical sediments, indicating that warming could lead to greater N2O production.
