Chemolithoautotrophic production mediating the cycling of the greenhouse gases N<sub>2</sub>O and CH<sub>4</sub> in an upwelling ecosystem

The high availability of electron donors occurring in coastal upwelling ecosystems with marked oxyclines favours chemoautotrophy, in turn leading to high N<sub>2</sub>O and CH<sub>4</sub> cycling associated with aerobic NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> (AAO)...
