Biological N2 Fixation in the Upwelling Region off NW Iberia: Magnitude, Relevance, and Players

The classical paradigm about marine N2 fixation establishes that this process is mainly constrained to nitrogen-poor tropical and subtropical regions, and sustained by the colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. and diatom-diazotroph symbiosis. However, the application of molecular techniques all...
