Diversity and Activity of Diazotrophs in Great Barrier Reef Surface Waters

Diversity and Activity of Diazotrophs in Great Barrier Reef Surface Waters

Discrepancies between bioavailable nitrogen (N) concentrations and phytoplankton growth rates in the oligotrophic waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) suggest that undetermined N sources must play a significant role in supporting primary productivity. One such source could be biological dinitrogen...
