Can Top-Down Controls Expand the Ecological Niche of Marine N2 Fixers?

Can Top-Down Controls Expand the Ecological Niche of Marine N2 Fixers?

The ability of marine diazotrophs to fix dinitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most influential yet enigmatic processes in the ocean. With their activity diazotrophs support biological production by fixing about 100–200 Tg N/year and turning otherwise unavailable dinitrogen into bioavailable nitrogen (N...
