The understanding of ocean mechanisms in the Arctic is currently experiencing a real turning point. Research conducted by the ...

The discovery of non-cyanobacteria diazotrophs underneath Arctic sea ice could change our understanding of the food web, as well as the ocean's carbon budget.

As the Arctic Ocean loses its sea ice due to climate change, sunlight penetrates deeper into the water and encourages the ...

Upwelling of deep water rich in phosphorus supports an N-fixing symbiont that lives on Sargassum algae, giving the algae a ...

A recent study published in National Science Review has estimated the global biological nitrogen fixation from natural ...

Nitrogen is vital for all known life. Yet most nitrogen on Earth is in the atmosphere as di-nitrogen gas, which many organisms can’t use. Fortunately, there are microbes that can tap into this ...

The marine nitrogen cycle is crucial to sustaining ocean productivity, with biological nitrogen fixation representing a primary mechanism by which inert atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ...

Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very abundant in the atmosphere, it is largely inaccessible in this form to most ...

Scientists have developed a uranium-based complex that allows nitrogen fixation reactions to take place in ambient conditions. The work lays the foundation to develop new processes for synthesizing ...

Fertilizer prices, supply chain snafus and a desire for more flexibility have farmers looking at a variety of different options to fuel their corn crops. Those factors are opening the door for the use ...
