Short summary
N2 fixation rates were measured daily in ~ 50 m3 mesocosms deployed in New Caledonia to investigate the high-frequency dynamics of diazotrophy and the fate of diazotroph-derived nitrogen (DDN) oligotrophic ecosystems. ~ 10 % of UCYN-C from the water column were exported daily to the traps, representing as much as 22.4 ± 5.5 % of the total POC exported at the height of the UCYN-C bloom. 16 ± 6 % of the DDN was released to the dissolved pool and 21 ± 4 % was transferred to non-diazotrophic plankton.
