Abstract Nitrogen fixers, or diazotrophs, play a key role in the nitrogen and carbon cycle of world oceans. Diazotrophs are capable utilising atmospheric dinitrogen which is competitive advantage over generally faster growing ordinary phytoplankton nitrogen-depleted conditions sun-lit surface ocean. In this study we argue that additional advantages must be at order to explain dynamics distribution diazotrophs global Backed by published evidence test effects preferential grazing (where zooplankton partly avoids diazotrophs) high-affinity diazotrophic phosphorus uptake an Earth System Model intermediate complexity.

The aim of this study was to test and develop the indicators for remote sensing assessment cyanobacterial blooms as an input estimation eutrophication environmental status (ES) under Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) in optically varying Estonian coastal regions (the Baltic Sea). Here, cyanobacteria considered chlorophyll-a (chl-a), turbidity, biomass N2-fixing cyanobacteria. Sentinel-3 A/B Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) data Case-2 Regional CoastColour (C2RCC) processor were used chl-a turbidity detection. ES assessed using four methods: Phytoplankton Intensity Index (PII), Cyanobacterial Surface Accumulations (CSA), two variants Bloom Indicator (CyaBI) either with situ-measured or satellite-estimated biomass. threshold values each area are presented. During 2022, NW Gulf Riga reached good ES, but most 16 areas failed achieve according one multiple indices. Overall, CyaBI gives comprehensive blooms, (in situ) being best suited naturally turbid areas. (satellite) could be more useful than situ large open areas, where coverage sampling is insufficient.
