Denitrification as the dominant nitrogen loss process in the Arabian Sea

BB Ward, AH Devol, JJ Rich, BX Chang, SE Bulow… - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Primary production in over half of the world's oceans is limited by fixed nitrogen availability.
The main loss term from the fixed nitrogen inventory is the production of dinitrogen gas (N2) …
