    Inland and Coastal Aquatic Systems Do Heavy Lifting in the Global Nitrogen Cycle

    After more than a decade of research and collaboration, researchers from Michigan Technological University, Baylor University and Boston University have discovered that inland and coastal aquatic systems play a much larger role in nitrogen fixation and the global nitrogen cycle than their small surface area would suggest. Amy Marcarelli, Michigan Tech biological sciences professor, is one of three principal investigators on the project, along with Boston U Earth and Environment and Biology Professor Robinson W. Fulweiler and Thad Scott, a Baylor biology professor. The team's research was highlighted in the article "Global importance of nitrogen fixation across inland and coastal waters," recently published in the journal Science.
