Abstract:Di-nitrogen (N 2 ) fixation rates, and the diversity of the organisms that fix N 2 , remain largely unconstrained in the aquatic landscapes or aquascapes (e.g., lakes, wetlands, streams, rivers, estuaries) between land and sea. As a result, we lack a mechanistic understanding of the controls and contributions of N 2 fixation across disparate aquatic environments, and cannot accurately incorporate this process into local and global nitrogen (N) budgets. This special issue brings together papers highlighting cur… Show more
