Impact of ultraviolet radiation nearly overrides the effects of elevated p CO 2 on a prominent nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacterium
Abstract Although the marine N 2 ‐fixers Trichodesmium spp. are affected by increasing p CO 2 and by ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in their habitats, little is known on their potential responses to future ocean acidification in the presence of UVR. We grew Trichodesmium at two p CO 2 levels (410 and 1...

Elevated p CO 2 only stimulated N 2 fixation under moderate levels of solar radiation. The simulated depth profile of N 2 fixation in the water column showed that UV‐induced inhibition dominated the combined effects of elevated p CO 2 and UVR at 0–30 m depth and the combination of these factors enhanced N 2 fixation at 30–60 m depth, but this effect diminished in deeper water. Our results suggest that Trichodesmium could be influenced more by UVR than by p CO 2 and their combined action result in negative effects on N 2 fixation under high solar radiation, but positive effects under low to moderate solar radiation.
