A gulf-wide synoptic isoscape of zooplankton isotope ratios reveals the importance of nitrogen fixation in supporting secondary production in the central Gulf of Mexico
A synoptic gulf-wide isoscape of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in the Gulf of Mexico based on mesozooplankton (335-1000 um) was used as a proxy for the isotopic baseline and for calculating regional contributions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen sources. Mesozooplankton were sampled at 0-200 m (d...
