Short summary

-A shift from diatom-associated diazotrophs (DDAs) to unicellular cyanobacterial group C (UCYN-C) in response to DIP fertilization was captured in a large-scale mesocosm experiment in the Noumea lagoon (NL), a low-nutrient low-chlorophyll coastal environment. -First report of in situ net growth and mortality rates for unicellular diazotrophs UCYN-A2, and UCYN-C. -First quantitative abundance data for diazotrophs in NL indicate that DDAs and UCYN-A1/A2 may be important N2 fixers in this region.
