A recently published study from scientists at Northern Arizona University and the University of California Berkeley looked at the process by which tiny aquatic plants work with bacteria to use nitrogen as part of the food web in a northern California river's ecosystem.

The study was published Sept. 8 in Proceedings of the National Academy and Sciences. It looks at a partnership between algae and bacteria that converts nitrogen from the air into food, which grows the population of aquatic insects and in turn, young salmon. Copy article link
