Measuring it by 15NO3- incubations is the current gold-standard, but the data acquisition rate is slow. Calculating it from plankton nitrate reductase activity (NR) is an inexpensive alternative with a higher data acquisition rate. Here, we calculate phytoplankton new production for the Peru upwelling ecosystem from measurements of NR activity using an enzyme kinetic model based on light-limitation. Calculations for the C-Line section at 15°S find new production ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 micro M N h-1 at the shelf edge and compares well to gross primary productivity when Redfield equivalents are used for N-C conversion. JASON-CUEA expedition data for September 1976 were used. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/111874 | ISBN: | 978-84-16724-16-1 | Fuente: | Libro de resúmenes: V Simposio Internacional de Ciencias del Mar, Universidad de Alicante, p. 148-149 |
