to the microorganisms that mediate it are surprisingly limited. In particular, ammonia …

The significance of nitrification for oceanic new production

A Yool, AP Martin, C Fernández, DR Clark - Nature, 2007 - nature.com
The flux of organic material sinking to depth is a major control on the inventory of carbon in
the ocean. To first order, the oceanic system is at equilibrium such that what goes down must …

[PDF][PDF] Nitrification in marine systems

BB Ward - Nitrogen in the marine environment, 2008 - scholar.archive.org
Nitrification is the process whereby ammonium (NH4 þ) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2 À) and
then to nitrate (NO3 À). It thus links the most oxidized and most reduced components of the …
