Marine sediment nitrogen isotopes and their implications for the nitrogen cycle in the sulfate-methane transition zone

IntroductionRecent work has proposed that the nitrogen isotopes in marine sediments can be impacted by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), since nitrogen uptake by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) modifies the nitrogen isotope compositions of bulk sediment. Thus, unraveling the AOM-driven n...
