Coastal and open ocean regions of the Western Tropical South Pacific ocean have been identified as a hotspot of N2 fixation. However, the environmental factors driving the temporal variability of abundance, composition, and activity of diazotrophs are still poorly understood, especially during the winter season. To address this, we quantified N2 fi...

Nitrogen fixation and denitrification are processes poorly studied in Mexican coastal lagoons. In this study the N incorporation and loss rates of the bottom water and sediments were analyzed in six zones of Sontecomapan lagoon during "Nortes" and rainy seasons and their relation with the rivers outflows and the coastal marine waters entrance. The ...

Tropical coastal lagoon environments provide a number of ecosystem services, but are threatened by the pressure lmposed by human activities and climatic change; these systems are particularly vulnerable because of a high demographic growth. Therefore, the understanding of their ecological behavior and the characterization of lagoon health indicator...
