Anoxic chlorophyll maximum enhances local organic matter remineralization and nitrogen loss in Lake Tanganyika
Enigmatic blooms of phytoplankton in aquatic oxygen-deficient zones could exacerbate depletion of nitrogen. Here the authors perform stable isotope experiments on the oxygen-deficient waters of Lake Tanganyika in Africa, finding that blooms drive down fixed nitrogen and could expand as a result of c...
