Anammox (yellow) has been found to be the predominant nitrogen loss pathway and was directly coupled to nitrate reduction (red) and aerobic ammonia oxidation (green) for sources of NO2-. The NH4+ required by anammox originated from DNRA (blue) and remineralization of organic matter via nitrate reduction and likely microaerobic respiration. Microaerobic conditions at least in the upper part of the OMZ were implicated by the occurrence of nitrification, which diminishes in importance from shelf to open ocean as well as deeper into the lower OMZ. In contrast, NH4+ production due to nitrate reduction and DNRA became increasingly important in the lower OMZ and offshore. 'Assim.' and 'Remin.' stand for assimilation (grey) and remineralization (brown) respectively. Nitrogen fixation (grey dashed) might be spatially coupled to nitrogen loss near the OMZ but has not been assessed in this study.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
