Nitrogen cycling in sediments on the NW African margin inferred from N and O isotopes in benthic chambers

Nitrogen cycling in sediments on the NW African margin inferred from N and O isotopes in benthic chambers

Benthic nitrogen cycling in the Mauritanian upwelling region (NW Africa) was studied in June 2014 from the shelf to the upper slope where minimum bottom water O2 concentrations of 25 µM were recorded. Benthic incubation chambers were deployed at 9 stations to measure fluxes of O2, dissolved inorgani...
