Physical mixing in coastal waters controls and decouples nitrification via biomass dilution
Nitrification is a central process of the aquatic nitrogen cycle that controls the supply of
nitrate used in other key processes, such as phytoplankton growth and denitrification …

Anammox bacteria drive fixed nitrogen loss in hadal trench sediments
B Thamdrup, C Schauberger… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Benthic N2 production by microbial denitrification and anammox is the largest sink for fixed
nitrogen in the oceans. Most N2 production occurs on the continental shelves, where a high …

Benthic dinitrogen fixation traversing the oxygen minimum zone off Mauritania (NW Africa)
Despite its potential to provide new nitrogen (N) to the environment, knowledge on benthic
dinitrogen (N2) fixation remains relatively sparse, and its contribution to the marine N budget …
