  abstract = {{D}initrogen ({N}-2) fixation provides the major source of reactive nitrogen in the open ocean, sustaining biological productivity. {T}he {I}ndian {O}cean ({IO}) covers 22% of the ocean surface, while it only represents 1% of the global diazotroph database. {H}ence, constraining the sources of nitrogen in the {IO} is crucial. {H}ere, we compile three decades of {N}-2 fixation and diazotroph {DNA} data in the {IO}. {O}ur analysis reveals basin-scale yearly rates between similar to 7 and 13 {T}g {N} yr(-1). {T}hese rates are in the range of previous modeling-based estimates but may represent a lower bound estimate due to the lack of data in this basin. {D}iazotroph variability among sub-basins may suggest endemicity but needs to be taken with caution due to biased sampling toward certain seasons and uneven spatial coverage. {W}e provide recommendations for a more accurate representation of the {IO} in the global nitrogen budget and our knowledge of diazotroph biogeography.},
