To date, most of published nitrogen (N) budget assessments for marine ecosystems (particularly, the Black Sea) are, unfortunately, rather general and incomprehensive due to regular atmospheric load underestimation and frequent neglecting of some relevant N cycling constituents (e.g., N2 fixation rate, dumping, shipping, gaseous emission, chemo denitrification). In this study it has been argued that atmospheric input was systematically underestimated in most of previous assessments of, since orga
