A pronounced deficit of nitrogen (N) in the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of theArabian Sea suggests the occurrence of heavy N-loss that is commonly attributed to pelagicprocesses. However, the OMZ water is in direct contact with sediments on three sides of thebasin. Contribution from benthic N-loss to...
