Dissolved organic nitrogen uptake by seagrasses
We examined the ability of seagrasses to take up dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) with leaves (in situ) and roots (laboratory) in an oligotrophic tropical offshore meadow in Indonesia using 15N-labeled nitrogen (N) substrates. We compared the uptake of urea and amino acids with that of ammonium (NH z4 ) and nitrate (NO { 3 ) and determined uptake kinetics of amino acids for the seagrasses Thala...
متن کاملMajor bacterial contribution to marine dissolved organic nitrogen
Next to N2 gas, the largest pool of reduced nitrogen in the ocean resides in the enormous reservoir of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). The chemical identity of most of this material, and the mechanisms by which it is cycled, remain fundamental questions in contemporary oceanography. Amino acid enantiomeric ratios in the high molecular weight fraction of DON from surface and deep water in thre...
متن کاملRelease of Dissolved Organic Nitrogen by Marine Diazotrophic Cyanobacteria, Trichodesmium spp.
Trichodesmium sp. is a filamentous, colonial cyanobacterium which contributes substantially to the input of nitrogen in tropical and subtropical oceanic waters through nitrogen fixation (N(2) fixation). We applied a N tracer technique to assess the rate of release of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) from this cyanobacterium and compared those rates with rates of N(2) fixation determined for the...
متن کاملDissolved organic nitrogen: an overlooked pathway of nitrogen loss from agricultural systems?
Conventional wisdom postulates that leaching losses of N from agriculture systems are dominated by NO(3)(-). Although the export of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) into the groundwater has been recognized for more than 100 yr, it is often ignored when total N budgets are constructed. Leaching of DON into stream and drinking water reservoirs leads to eutrophication and acidification, and can po...
