Nitrogen fixation in sediments along a depth transect through the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone

The potential coupling of nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>) fixation and sulfate reduction (SR) was explored in sediments of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). Sediment samples were retrieved by a multiple corer at six stations along a depth transect (70–1025 m water depth) at 12° S, coverin...
