On the global scale, N-2 fixation provides the major external source of reactive nitrogen to the surface ocean, surpassing atmospheric and riverine inputs, and sustains similar to 50 % of new primary production in oligotrophic environments. The main goal of the VAriability of vertical and tropHlc transfer of diazotroph derived N in the south wEst Pacific (VAHINE) project was to study the fate of nitrogen newly fixed by diazotrophs (or diazotroph-derived nitrogen) in oceanic food webs, and how it impacts heterotrophic bacteria, phytoplankton and zooplankton dynamics, stocks and fluxes of biogenic elements and particle export. Three large volume (similar to 50 m(3)) mesocosms were deployed in a tropical oligotrophic ecosystem (the New Caledonia lagoon,... |
