Coastal and Marine Nitrogen Sources Shift Isotopic Baselines in Pelagic Food Webs of the Gulf of Mexico

Upwelling, atmospheric nitrogen (N2) fixation by cyanobacteria, and freshwater inputs from the Mississippi River system have been shown to stimulate new production by alleviating nitrogen (N) limitation in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Stable carbon (delta13C) and nitrogen (delta15N) isotopes w...
