Latitudinal distribution of Trichodesmium spp. and N 2 fixation in the Atlantic Ocean (2010, background): “Biological N2 fixation represents a major process of new nitrogen supply to the euphotic zone in tropical and subtropical regions of the open ocean (Karl et al., 2002; Mahaffey et al., 2005).”
Eutrophication of lakes cannot be controlled by reducing nitrogen input: Results of a 37-year whole-ecosystem experiment (2008, background): “Also, unlike the Baltic, many estuaries have rather rapid flushing that would result in the continuous dilution of any N fixed by cyanobacteria (36), potentially keeping an estuary in a chronic N-deficient state despite high rates of N fixation.”
CO2 control of Trichodesmium N2 fixation, photosynthesis, growth rates, and elemental ratios: Implications for past, present, and future ocean biogeochemistry (2007, background): “new production in some oligotrophic tropical and subtropical oceans (Capone et al. 2005; Mahaffey et al. 2005).”
Iron availability limits the ocean nitrogen inventory stabilizing feedbacks between marine denitrification and nitrogen fixation (2007, background): “chemical tracer approaches [Michaels et al., 1996; Gruber and Sarmiento, 1997; Mahaffey et al., 2005] (see Hansell et al.”
Stable isotopic evidence for trophic groupings and bio-regionalization of predators and their prey in oceanic waters off eastern Australia (2009, background): “value. In addition, nitrogen fixation can also be an important process in nutrient poor waters, which will also cause a trend to more depleted d 15 N values ( Mahaffey et al. 2005 ).”
