Differing responses of marine N2 fixers to warming and consequences for future diazotroph community structure (2014, background): “A variety of studies have demonstrated that these unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria, especially Crocosphaera and UCYN-A, are abundant and contribute substantial amounts of N in many oligotrophic regions (Langlois et al. 2008, Kitajima et al. 2009, Moisander et al. 2010).”
Iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen supply ratios define the biogeography of nitrogen fixation (2013, background): “The LPD province primarily corresponds to the North Atlantic and the northwestern sector of the Pacific subtropical gyre, where observations have shown surface DIP is fully drawn down (Gruber and Sarmiento 1997; Kitajima et al. 2009; Moore et al. 2009).”
Latitudinal distribution of Trichodesmium spp. and N 2 fixation in the Atlantic Ocean (2010, background): “abundance and community N2 fixation over large spatial scales in the open ocean (Kitajima et al., 2009; Moore et al., 2009).”
Distribution of diverse nitrogen fixers in the global ocean (2010, background): “…indicate the presence of DDAs in the tropical and subtropical North Pacific Ocean [Venrick, 1974; Gomez et al., 2005; Church et al., 2008; Kitajima et al., 2009], the equatorial North Atlantic Ocean (in particular in the vicinity of the Amazon River plume) [Villareal, 1991; Carpenter et…”
