Insights on the marine microbial nitrogen cycle from isotopic approaches to nitrification

The microbial nitrogen (N) cycle involves a variety of redox processes that control the availability and speciation of N in the environment and are involved with the production of nitrous oxide (N2O), a climatically important greenhouse gas. Isotopic measurements of ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2-),...
