You figure, you know, even if you -- if somebody with prime credit, with a-1 credit can get a mortgage at 6.5 percent, you'll get a rate of 5.5 percent, which is really a good deal.

Of the various loss terms of combined nitrogen from the ocean, emission of N2O to the atmosphere (4-7 Tg N a-1) is quantitatively not important for the oceanic combined nitrogen budget, even though for the atmosphere itself it represents a major source of N2O.

However, sedimentary denitrification rate is highly variable, and this together with limited measurements makes estimates of sedimentary denitrification highly uncertain (ranging from 180 to 300 Tg N a-1).

However, current estimates of water-column denitrification also vary widely (from 65 to 150 Tg N a-1).

This is comparable with total inputs of combined nitrogen to the ocean by river runoff (~35 and 45 Tg N a-1 in the dissolved inorganic and particulate organic forms, respectively) and atmospheric deposition (~50 Tg N a-1), a substantial fraction of which is believed to be of anthropogenic (human-made) origin.

That means the 95% confidence interval is from -443 to +5 kg m-2 a-1.

Rate of N-fixation in the ocean is poorly constrained; its estimate having risen steadily in recent times currently stands at about 135 Tg N a-1 (1 Tg = 1012 g).

The burial rate in the sediments is also quite modest (~25 Tg N a-1).
