Abstract
- Marine nitrogen (N) cycle plays important roles in controlling marine ecosystem and biogeochemistry, as it is well known as a limiting element for marine productivity and significantly influences on the carbon and phosphorus cycles in the marine environment. Also, nitrous oxide (N₂O) production via marine N cycling is regarding as climate interaction with a big concern owing to its significant warming potential in the atmosphere. The East Sea (ES) is a semi-enclosed marginal sea, but frequently referred to as a miniature ocean as it shows multiple ocean dynamic processes. Recently, a number of studies reported that the ES is rapidly changing due to anthropogenic perturbations. Given that understanding of the ES’s biogeochemical cycles under such a condition is apparently urgent, we have little knowledge about particularly N cycling and N₂O production mechanisms to date. At present, the application of metagenomics approaches is widely used for understanding marine N cycle as an important means. Here, using the information of bacterial functional genes, we for the first time investigate (1) N cycling processes and (2) N2O production pathways during June and October 2021 at three different depths (0m, 150m, and 750m) of the ES.
