Global nitrogen cycle: critical enzymes, organisms, and processes for nitrogen budgets and dynamics

X Zhang, BB Ward, DM Sigman - Chemical reviews, 2020 - ACS Publications
Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Nitrogen and oxygen isotopic studies of the marine nitrogen cycle

KL Casciotti - Annual review of marine science, 2016 - annualreviews.org
The marine nitrogen cycle is a complex web of microbially mediated reactions that control

Convergent estimates of marine nitrogen fixation

WL Wang, JK Moore, AC Martiny, FW Primeau - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Uncertainty in the global patterns of marine nitrogen fixation limits our understanding of the

Recent increase in oceanic carbon uptake driven by weaker upper-ocean overturning

T DeVries, M Holzer, F Primeau - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The ocean is the largest sink for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), having absorbed
roughly 40 per cent of CO2 emissions since the beginning of the industrial era,. Recent data …

Is nitrogen the next carbon?

W Battye, VP Aneja, WH Schlesinger - Earth's future, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Just as carbon fueled the Industrial Revolution, nitrogen has fueled an Agricultural
Revolution. The use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and the cultivation of nitrogen‐fixing …

The export and fate of organic matter in the ocean: New constraints from combining satellite and oceanographic tracer observations

T DeVries, T Weber - Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The ocean's biological pump transfers carbon from the surface euphotic zone into the deep
ocean, reducing the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Despite its climatic importance, there …
