Diazotrophy in the Deep: An Analysis of the Distribution, Magnitude, Geochemical Controls, and Biological Mediators of Deep-Sea Benthic Nitrogen Fixation

<p>Biological nitrogen fixation (the conversion of N<sub>2</sub> to NH<sub>3</sub>) is a critical process in the oceans, counteracting the production of N<sub>2</sub> gas by dissimilatory bacterial metabolisms and providing a source of bioavailable nitrogen...
