[AOS23-P03] Stable nitrogen isotopic composition (δ15N) of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in the South China Sea

*Run Zhang1 (1.Xiamen University)

Keywords:South China Sea, δ15N, DON

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) represents an essential N pool, and its stable isotopic composition (δ15N) may provide unique insights into marine N cycle. However, few results of DON δ15N have been reported to date in the global ocean. In this study, we will report DON δ15N values in the upper layer waters of the South China Sea (SCS), which is the largest marginal sea west of the Pacific Ocean.
