Nitrogen fixation in Virginia salt marshes and the effects of chronic oil pollution on nitrogen fixation in the Mobjack Bay marshes
N2 fixation rates for several Virginia salt marshes were determined using in situ acetylene-reduction assays. A control and a chronically polluted oil marsh of the mesohaline Mobjack Bay area were sampled over a 1975-76 annual cycle. N2 fixation occurred in all transects which extended from upper mu...
