  abstract = {{T}he stoichiometry of physical nutrient supply may provide a constraint on the spatial distribution and rate of marine nitrogen ({N}-2) fixation. {Y}et agreement between the {N}(2)fixation rates inferred from nutrient supply and those directly measured has been lacking. {T}he relative transport of phosphate and nitrate across the {G}ulf {S}tream suggests that 3-6 {T}g {N} year(-1)must be fixed to maintain steady nutrient stoichiometry in the {N}orth {A}tlantic subtropical gyre. {H}ere we show direct measurements of {N}(2)fixation consistent with these estimates, suggesting elevated {N}(2)fixation in and near the {G}ulf {S}tream. {A}t some locations across the {G}ulf {S}tream, we measured diazotroph abundances and {N}(2)fixation rates that are 1-3 orders of magnitude greater than previously measured in the central {N}orth {A}tlantic subtropical gyre. {I}n combination, rate measurements and gene abundances suggest that biogeochemical budgets can be a robust predictive tool for {N}(2)fixation hot spots in the global ocean.},
