Influence of the Amazon River plume on distributions of free‐living and symbiotic cyanobacteria in the western tropical north Atlantic Ocean (2007, background): “Most studies of diazotrophy in the WTNA have focused on Trichodesmium (Carpenter et al. 2004; Capone et al. 2005), with the exception of Carpenter et al. (1999).”
Nutrient limitation of primary productivity in the Southeast Pacific (BIOSOPE cruise) (2007, background): “…(0–400 m) (nmol l−1) along the BIOSOPE transect from Marquesas Islands (left) to Chile (right). of NO−3 into the euphotic zone (Karl et al., 1997; Capone et al., 2005), demonstrating that a large part of new primary productivity is fuelled by N2 fixation, rather than NO−3 diffusing from…”
Evidence of active dinitrogen fixation in surface waters of the eastern tropical South Pacific during El Niño and La Niña events and evaluation of its potential nutrient controls (2013, background): “These rates are comparable to those measured in other oligotrophic areas of the ocean (Table 2) such as the North Pacific gyre [Montoya et al., 2004] or the tropical Atlantic [Voss et al., 2004; Capone et al., 2005].”
CO2 control of Trichodesmium N2 fixation, photosynthesis, growth rates, and elemental ratios: Implications for past, present, and future ocean biogeochemistry (2007, background): “Trichodesmium spp. and other diazotrophic cyanobacteria support a large fraction of total biological productivity in the tropical and subtropical seas (Capone et al. 2005; Mahaffey et al. 2005).”
New insights into the ecology of the globally significant uncultured nitrogen-fixing symbiont UCYN-A (2016, background): “…Braarudosphaera bigelowii Aquat Microb Ecol 77: 125–138, 2016 For many years, the paradigm was that N2 fi xation in the oceans was due primarily to Tricho desmium (Capone et al. 1997, 2005) and diatom symbionts (e.g. Villareal & Carpenter 1989, Villareal 1990, 1991, 1994, Subramaniam et al. 2008)…”
Iron availability limits the ocean nitrogen inventory stabilizing feedbacks between marine denitrification and nitrogen fixation (2007, background): “High N fixation is sometimes observed here [ Capone et al., 2005 ], likely fueled in part by dissolved organic P [Dyhrman et al., 2006; Sohm and Capone, 2007] and mesoscale eddies [Davis and McGillicuddy, 2006] processes not included in the model.”
Vitamin B12 excretion by cultures of the marine cyanobacteria Crocosphaera and Synechococcus (2010, background): “Cyanobacteria (including Crocosphaera, Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and Trichodesmium) are ubiquitous in the world’s oceans, where they often contribute significantly to primary production (e.g., Partensky et al. 1999; Capone et al. 2005; Bonnet et al. 2009).”
Distribution of diverse nitrogen fixers in the global ocean (2010, background): “and Capone et al. [1998]”
The Marine Nitrogen Cycle: Overview and Challenges (2008, background): “A first challenge to the PO 4 control hypothesis emerges from the observation that the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic are sites of high N2 fixation (Capone et al., 2005; Carpenter and Romans, 1991), yet these waters have extremely low PO 4 concentrations (Wu et al.”
