TLDR
Natural abundance stable isotope ratios in nitrate (NO(3)(-)) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O) were used to evaluate the importance of nitrification over longer time scales and calculate that nitrification could produce between 0.45 and 2.93 micromol m(-2) day(-1) N( 2)O in the central California Current.
