A study on the effects of enhanced pCO2 on open ocean diazotrophic assemblages

Creator:

Gradoville, Mary Rose

Abstract:

Biological di-nitrogen (N₂) fixation is a key process in open-ocean ecosystems, where the new nitrogen (N) provided by marine diazotrophs can support a large fraction of primary productivity and carbon (C) drawdown. Recent laboratory studies have shown that elevated pCO₂ enhances the rate of N₂ fixation by select laboratory isolates...
