Biogeochemical and biological impacts of diazotroph blooms in a low-nutrient, low-chlorophyll ecosystem: synthesis from the VAHINE mesocosm experiment (New Caledonia)
In marine ecosystems, biological N<sub>2</sub> fixation provides the predominant external source of nitrogen (N; 140 ± 50 Tg N yr<sup>−1</sup>), contributing more than atmospheric and riverine inputs to the N supply. Yet the fate and magnitude of the newly fixed N, or diazotr...
