We examined short-term (24–72 h) responses of naturally occurringmarine N2 fixing microorganisms (termed diazotrophs) to abrupt increases in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in seawater during nine incubation experiments conducted between May 2010 and September 2012 at Station ALOHA (A Long-term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) (22°45′N, 158°W) in the...
We conducted 11 independent short-term carbon dioxide (CO₂) manipulation experiments using colonies of
the filamentous cyanobacteria Trichodesmium isolated on three cruises in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
(NPSG). Dinitrogen (N₂) and carbon (C) fixation rates of these colonies were compared over CO₂ conditions
ranging from ~ 18 Pa (equivalent to...
We present a spatially extensive record of dinitrogen (N₂) fixation rates and distributions
of N₂ fixing microorganisms along with the results of exogenous phosphorus (P) addition experiments
conducted during a series of cruises in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG). We measured the
N₂ and carbon (C) fixation rates of...
