Short summary
The North-Western shelf of the Black Sea is substantially influenced by the discharge of nutrients from River Danube. We have sampled the sediment there and measured particulate carbon and nitrogen to reconstruct the variability of nitrogen sources to the NW shelf. Our results demonstrate that the balance of riverine nitrogen input and marine nitrogen fixation is sensitive to climate changes. Nitrogen from human activities is detectable in NW shelf sediment since the 12th century.
