| Diazotrophic activity and primary production (PP) were investigated along two transects (Belgica BG2014/14 and GEOVIDE cruises) off the western Iberian Margin and the Bay of Biscay (38.8–46.5°N; 8.0–19.7°W) in May 2014 close to the end of the spring bloom. We report substantial N2 fixation activities, reaching up to 65nmolNL−1d−1 and 1533µmolNm−2d−1 close to the Iberian Margin between 38.8°N and 40.7°N. Similar figures in the basin have only been reported in the temperate and tropical western North Atlantic waters with coastal, shelf or mesohaline characteristics, as opposed to the mostly open ocean conditions studied here. In agreement with previous studies, the qualitative assessment of nifH gene diversity (encoding the nitrogenase enzyme that fixes N2)... |
