TL;DR: Although ∼10% of the ocean's drawdown of atmospheric anthropogenic carbon dioxide may result from this atmospheric nitrogen fertilization, leading to a decrease in radiative forcing, up to about two-thirds of this amount may be offset by the increase in N2O emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen cycling in the ocean: New perspectives on processes and paradigms
Jonathan P. Zehr,Bess B. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: The nitrogen (N) cycle is composed of multiple transformations of nitrogenous compounds, catalyzed primarily by microbes, and is linked to the fixation of atmospheric carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen Uptake, Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Release, and New Production
TL;DR: In oceanic, coastal, and estuarine environments, traditional nitrogen-15 techniques were found to underestimate new and regenerated production by up to 74 and 50 percent, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking Diversity and Stable Isotope Fractionation in Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria
TL;DR: The link between similarity in amino acid sequence for ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) and isotopic discrimination for ammonia oxidation ( l AMO ) was investigated in g-subdivision ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oligonucleotide microarray for the study of functional gene diversity in the nitrogen cycle in the environment.
TL;DR: This work establishes a useful set of design constraints (independent of the target gene) for the implementation of functional gene microarrays for environmental applications.
