Quantifying Oxygen Management and Temperature and Light Dependencies of Nitrogen Fixation by Crocosphaera watsonii

Crocosphaera is one of the major N2-fixing microorganisms in the open ocean. On a global scale, the process of N2 fixation is important in balancing the N budget, but the factors governing the rate of N2 fixation remain poorly resolved. Here, we combine a mechanistic model and both previous and pres...
