EAS 4300 Guest Lecture Georgia Tech Biological Oceanography JPM Krebs, Fig Marine N Limitation (Ryther & Dunstan 1971)

EAS 4300 Guest Lecture Georgia Tech Biological Oceanography JPM Anthropogenic N Loading Globally, about 20% of anthropogenic N input on land is exported in rivers. Krebs, Fig Crouzet et al. 1999, EEA

EAS 4300 Guest Lecture Georgia Tech Biological Oceanography JPM Eutrophication N inputs to coastal waters often promote algal blooms Cyanobacterial bloom in the Baltic ( Dinoflagellate bloom off La Jolla (Photo: P. Franks, SIO) Agricultural runoff and blooms (Beman et al. 2005)

EAS 4300 Guest Lecture Georgia Tech Biological Oceanography JPM Oceanic Nitrogen Budget Estimates

EAS 4300 Guest Lecture Georgia Tech Biological Oceanography JPM Who Cares? Broad reaches of the ocean are N-limited. –Recycling of N within the water column supports biological production, but… –Injection of new N into the upper water column is required to support export production. The N and C cycles are tightly coupled through biological production of organic matter (C:N ≈ 7). N 2 -fixation plays a key role in regulating the global C cycle but we still don’t how much N 2 -fixation is occurring in the ocean, who’s doing it, and where!
