Nitrogen Fixation in Mesoscale Eddies of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: Patterns and Mechanisms

Mathilde Dugenne et al.

Summary: We sampled mesoscale cyclones and anticyclones in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in 2017 and 2018 and compared our observations with seasonal patterns from the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program. We found that N-2 fixation rates (NFRs) were significantly high in the centers of anticyclones compared to previous observations. The increase in NFRs in 2017 was linked to high concentrations of the diazotroph Crocosphaera.

Potential drivers and consequences of regional phosphate depletion in the western subtropical North Pacific

Zhongwei Yuan et al.

Summary: In nitrogen limited low latitude ocean regions, phosphate depletion can induce stress responses in marine microbes. This study associates a broad region of phosphate depletion in the subtropical North Pacific with different levels of phosphorus stress, and demonstrates the primary nitrogen limitation of the phytoplankton community with the relief provided by aerosol supply. Enhanced alkaline phosphatase activities indicate elevated phosphorus stress in northern sites with depleted phosphate. Increased aerosol deposition, likely stimulated by aerosol iron supply, can drive the regional enhancement in phosphate depletion through elevated nitrogen fixation. These findings are crucial for predicting future biogeochemical responses in the subtropical North Pacific to changes in aerosol supply.

Decline in the Nutrient Inventories of the Upper Subtropical Northwest Pacific Ocean

JiHyun Kim et al.

Summary: The changes in surface nutrient concentrations in the Northwest Pacific Ocean over the past four decades were mainly due to a significant decrease in nutrient inventories within the permanent thermocline, possibly caused by the northward expansion of high-temperature, low-nutrient subtropical gyre waters associated with climate change and a regional physical regime shift. Additionally, a declining trend in the N:P ratio suggests a greater N-limitation in contrast to previous assumptions of P-limitation due to anthropogenic nitrogen inputs.

Comparison of Nitrate Isotopes Between the South China Sea and Western North Pacific Ocean: Insights Into Biogeochemical Signals and Water Exchange

Jin-Yu Terence Yang et al.

Summary: This study utilizes sedimentary N records in the South China Sea to reconstruct past changes in the oceanic nitrate inventory and provides insights into nitrate dynamics in the region. The findings suggest that the changes in nitrate isotopic ratios in the euphotic zone of the South China Sea are influenced by both nitrate assimilation and nitrification. In subsurface and thermocline waters, disproportional decreases in nitrate isotopes and elevated nitrate anomalies indicate the accumulation of external nitrogen. The study also reveals increased benthic denitrification at the western North Pacific Ocean margins, leading to consistent nitrate isotopic compositions but lower nitrate anomalies in the deep water of the South China Sea.

Regionally Variable Contribution of Dissolved Organic Phosphorus to Marine Annual Net Community Production

Robert T. Letscher et al.

Summary: Marine dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) plays an important role as a nutrient for marine autotrophs and contributes to the annual net community production (ANCP). This study used a global dataset of marine DOP to investigate the regional variability of DOP utilization by autotrophs contributing to ANCP. The results show that approximately 25% of ANCP is accumulated as DOP, with regional variations ranging from 8% to 50% across different biomes. Shallow export and remineralization of DOP in the subtropical regions contribute to the regeneration of phosphate within the upper thermocline, and the transport of DOP from net production regions to net consumption regions is facilitated by subtropical gyres.

A nutrient relay sustains subtropical ocean productivity

Mukund Gupta et al.

Summary: The expansive gyres of the subtropical ocean play a significant role in global organic carbon export. This study examines the nutrient pathways that replenish the subeuphotic layers in the gyre interior. Using a simulation model, the researchers find that mesoscale eddies flux nutrients from the shallow flanks of the gyre into the recirculating interior, contributing to the replenishment of subeuphotic layers along density surfaces. This nutrient relay sustains the productivity of the subtropical gyre.

Iron Depletion in the Deep Chlorophyll Maximum: Mesoscale Eddies as Natural Iron Fertilization Experiments

Nicholas J. Hawco et al.

Summary: In stratified oligotrophic waters, natural iron addition events regularly occur with the passage of mesoscale eddies, providing a way to test for iron limitation at the DCM. Studies of two eddies in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre indicate different impacts of iron addition on phytoplankton communities in different eddy types. Iron addition experiments did not increase productivity in either eddy, but revealed potential indicators of iron stress among Prochlorococcus. Recycling of dissolved iron in oligotrophic ecosystems appears sufficient to avoid iron limitation at the DCM under typical conditions.

Summary: The seasonal drawdown of dissolved inorganic carbon in the subtropical upper ocean contributes significantly to net community production globally. While surface macronutrients are chronically depleted, nanomolar increases in surface nitrate plus nitrite and phosphate from summer to winter in the western subtropical North Pacific are found to be in near-stoichiometric balance with microbial C:N:P ratios. These findings suggest that the nanomolar upward supply of phosphorus and its preferential recycling play a vital role in sustaining net community production in oligotrophic ocean environments.

Summary: Research suggests that the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre circulation has intensified since 3000-4000 years ago, linked to the southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This intensification may be due to cooling of the Holocene oceans, with implications that future global warming could weaken this circulation.
