New and Regenerated Production in the Equatorial Pacific

海洋初级生产力起着重要的缓冲作用 大气CO2全球小学的很大一部分 生产发生在赤道的地表水中， 太平洋是如此这一项目将是联合全球森林论坛赤道 太平洋实验营养水平，颗粒分布 氮和15 N-氮同化率将被测量 1.有多少“新生产”发生在中央 赤道太平洋？2)是什么控制了新的 制作？3)一些新的生产积累， 微粒氮？以及4）是否有新的生产转换 溶解有机氮？

Oceanic primary production plays an important role in buffering atmospheric CO2. A significant portion of global primary production takes places in the surface water of the Equatorial Pacific. This project will be a component of the JGOFS Equatorial Pacific Experiment. Nutrient levels, distribution of particulate nitrogen and rates of 15N-nitrogen assimilation will be measured to determine: 1) How much "new production" occurs in the central Equatorial Pacific?. 2) What controls the level of new production?. 3) Does some new production accumulate as particulate nitrogen?, and 4) Is some new production converted to dissolved organic nitrogen?.//
