| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, nitrogen isotopic compositions of chlorophyll and substrate nitrate were determined to investigate the nitrogen cycle in the photic zone, from two Pacific sites (Station K2 and Station S1). Samples were collected during summer blooms in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 (MR12-02, MR13-04, MR14-04, KH15-J01). The observed nitrogen isotopic compositions of chlorophyll at the stations K2 and S2 were -10.5 to +1.9‰ and -0.5 to +2.3‰, respectively. It was suggested that the nitrogen isotopic distribution of chlorophyll can be explained by either (1) large isotopic fractionation during nitrate assimilation by phytoplankton, or (2) significant contribution of ammonia as a substrate for the photosynthetic nitrogen assimilation, at Station K2. By applying a quantitative nitrogen cycle model in the surface ocean (Yoshikawa et al., 2005), it was concluded that there was a large (>50%) contribution of ammonia as a substrate for the phytoplankton.
