Isotopic composition of particulate organic nitrogen and its relationship to nitrate assimilation in the Mediterranean Sea
The shifts in the 15N:14N ratio of particulate organic nitrogen (PON) suspended in the upper layer of the ocean have normally been interpreted in terms of changes in the isotopic composition of the source nitrogen used by the phytoplankton (nitrate, ammonium and dinitrogen gas) and/or the fractionat...
