Determination of total N <sub>2</sub> fixation rates in the ocean taking into account both the particulate and filtrate fractions

Using the <sup>15</sup>N<sub>2</sub> tracer method and high-sensitivity &delta;<sup>15</sup>N analytical systems, we determined N<sub>2</sub> fixation rates for ocean samples by dividing them into particulate (>0.7 μm) and filtrate (<0.7 μm)...
