Dinitrogen fixation in aphotic oxygenated marine environments

Dinitrogen fixation in aphotic oxygenated marine environments

We measured N2 fixation rates from oceanic zones that have traditionally been ignored as sources of biological N2 fixation; the aphotic, fully oxygenated, nitrate (NO3-)-rich, waters of the oligotrophic Levantine Basin (LB) and the Gulf of Aqaba (GA). N2 fixation rates measured from pelagic aphotic...
