Molecular evidence for sediment nitrogen fixation in a temperate New England estuary

Primary production in coastal waters is generally nitrogen (N) limited with denitrification outpacing nitrogen fixation (N(2)-fixation). However, recent work suggests that we have potentially underestimated the importance of heterotrophic sediment N(2)-fixation in marine ecosystems. We used clone li...
