Strong stimulation of N<sub>2</sub> fixation in oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea: results from dust addition in large in situ mesocosms

The response of N<sub>2</sub> (dinitrogen) fixation to contrasted (wet and dry) Saharan dust deposition was studied in the framework of the DUNE project (a DUst experiment in a low-Nutrient, low-chlorophyll Ecosystem) during which realistic simulations of dust deposition (10 g m<sup&g...
