UCYN-B dominant regions with potential high N2 fixation rates

Caption

The delineated areas represent regions with total nifH gene abundance higher than 108 copies m-2. Red, green, orange and purple denote regions dominated (defined as > 75% of the total nifH gene abundance) by UCYN-B, Trichodesmium, UCYN-A and Richelia, respectively. The blue shaded-areas denote regions predicted to have N2 fixation rates > 100 μmol N m-2 d-1
