  abstract = {{T}he open ocean nitrogen cycle is being altered by increases in anthropogenic atmospheric nitrogen deposition and climate change. {H}ow the nitrogen cycle responds will determine long-term trends in net primary production ({NPP}) in the nitrogen-limited low latitude ocean, but is poorly constrained by uncertainty in how the source-sink balance will evolve. {H}ere we show that intensifying nitrogen limitation of phytoplankton, associated with near-term reductions in {NPP}, causes detectable declines in nitrogen isotopes (delta {N}-15) and constitutes the primary perturbation of the 21st century nitrogen cycle. {M}odel experiments show that similar to 75% of the low latitude twilight zone develops anomalously low delta {N}-15 by 2060, predominantly due to the effects of climate change that alter ocean circulation, with implications for the nitrogen source-sink balance. {O}ur results highlight that delta {N}-15 changes in the low latitude twilight zone may provide a useful constraint on emerging changes to nitrogen limitation and {NPP} over the 21st century.},
