Figure 7

Schematic diagram of the proposed N cycle in deep terrestrial subsurface sites in South Africa. Solid lines indicate processes suggested by molecular (this study) and geochemistry analyses (Silver et al., 2012). Dashed lines indicate processes that are known in the global N cycle but their occurrence in deep terrestrial subsurface sites is yet to be proven. Asterisks denote microbially mediated processes.
