Factors influencing nitrogen fixation in epiphytic diazotroph communities associated with pelagic Sargassum

Nitrogen is one of the most commonly limiting nutrients throughout the world’s oceans and it has long been acknowledged that pelagic Sargassum reliably hosts nitrogen fixing epiphytes, yet very little is known about what controls nitrogen fixation rates within this community. Here, we provide an updated examination...
