Biotic and abiotic controls on co-occurring nitrogen cycling processes in shallow Arctic shelf sediments
Arctic continental shelves could store a significant amount of nitrogen, yet the specific nitrogen transformation pathways in these sediments remain unknown. Using nitrogen tracers, McTigueet al. simultaneously measure multiple pathways in the Chukchi Sea, confirming the Arctic as a major nitrogen s...

| Summary: | Arctic continental shelves could store a significant amount of nitrogen, yet the specific nitrogen transformation pathways in these sediments remain unknown. Using nitrogen tracers, McTigueet al. simultaneously measure multiple pathways in the Chukchi Sea, confirming the Arctic as a major nitrogen sink. |
