Dinitrogen fixation and dissolved organic nitrogen fueled primary production and particulate export during the VAHINE mesocosm experiment (New Caledonia lagoon)

In the oligotrophic ocean characterized by nitrate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>&minus;</sup>) depletion in surface waters, dinitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) fixation and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) can represent significant nitrogen (N) sources for the ecosystem....
