Nitrogen balance and Arctic throughflow
Article Abstract:
The phosphate in the waters moving east through the Arctic Ocean accounts for 16% or more of the nitrogen fixation in the North Atlantic, which highlights the importance of the Arctic throughflow in preventing large swings in nutrient budget and productivity in the ocean. The rapid transport of the excess phosphate to the North Atlantic from the Bering Strait would enable a compensating increase in nitrogen-fixation to make a larger contribution to balancing the global ocean nitrogen cycle.

Making the paper
Article Abstract:
The article discusses various effects of the deposition of nitrogen in the soil on biodiversity of plants in that area. The findings show that excess of nitrogen decreases plant biodiversity, hence demonstrating the need for new efforts to minimize losses.

Nitrogen impacts on forest carbon
Article Abstract:
The study results which provides evidence for hypothesis that nitrogen deposition on temperate and boreal forest might drive carbon sequestration of atmospheric C[O.sub.2] in to wood is reported.
