Microbial oceanography of anoxic oxygen minimum zones.
Vast expanses of oxygen-deficient and nitrite-rich water define the major oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) of the global ocean. They support diverse microbial communities that influence the nitrogen economy of the oceans, contributing to major losses of fixed nitrogen as dinitrogen (N(2)) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O) gases. Anaerobic microbial processes, including the two pathways of N(2) production, d...
متن کاملNew twist on nitrogen cycling in oceanic oxygen minimum zones.
L arge uncertainties in the future of Earth’s climate have intensified research on the global biogeochemical cycles on land and in the sea. The ocean ecosystem is critical in the carbon balance between the atmosphere and deep ocean, but also plays a large role in chemical and nutrient fluxes that maintain oceanic productivity and greenhouse gas fluxes to and from the atmosphere. Particularly re...
متن کاملAerobic Microbial Respiration In Oceanic Oxygen Minimum Zones
Oxygen minimum zones are major sites of fixed nitrogen loss in the ocean. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of anaerobic ammonium oxidation, anammox, in pelagic nitrogen removal. Sources of ammonium for the anammox reaction, however, remain controversial, as heterotrophic denitrification and alternative anaerobic pathways of organic matter remineralization cannot account for the am...
متن کاملOxygen Sensitivity of Anammox and Coupled N-Cycle Processes in Oxygen Minimum Zones
Nutrient measurements indicate that 30-50% of the total nitrogen (N) loss in the ocean occurs in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). This pelagic N-removal takes place within only ~0.1% of the ocean volume, hence moderate variations in the extent of OMZs due to global warming may have a large impact on the global N-cycle. We examined the effect of oxygen (O(2)) on anammox, NH(3) oxidation and NO(3)(-)...
