Revisiting the distribution of oceanic N2 fixation and estimating diazotrophic contribution to marine production
The geographical distribution and controlling factors of marine N2 fixation are understudied. Here the authors find increasing rates of N2 fixation from the Sargasso Sea to the coastal waters of North America, driven primarily by cyanobacterial diazotrophs and best correlated with phosphorus availab...
