Nitrogen balance and Arctic throughflow
Michiyo Yamamoto-Kawai1, Eddy Carmack1 & Fiona McLaughlin1
Abstract
Waters moving east through the Arctic Ocean significantly contribute to nitrogen fixation in the Atlantic.
The Atlantic Ocean contains organisms that fix nitrogen, using up phosphate in the process and causing the waters to be enriched in nitrate relative to phosphate. The balance is redressed by the relatively phosphate-rich waters that flow into the Atlantic from the Arctic Ocean, through Fram Strait and the Canadian Archipelago.
