11. 2, but this species can only be used by a small number of specialized N-fixing bacteria. Recent research suggests that N fixation may be much more important than previously thought [F. Lipschultz and N. Owens Biogeochemistry 35, 261 (1996)] and this may be particularly so on intertidal sediments. In the text, references to N and P refer to all the readily bioavaiable dissolved and particulate forms of N and P, unless the chemical form is specified.

Many of the ideas incorporated here were generated within the ACSOE programme funded by the U.K. National Environmental Research Council and the JONUS programme funded by the U.K. Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food; the Ministry of Transport, Environment and the Regions; and the Environment Agency. The views expressed are mine and do not reflect the policy of the funding departments. I acknowledge useful discussions with all my colleagues in these projects, particularly S. Malcolm, R. Sanders, and L. Spokes. I also acknowledge the fine work of the many researchers whose papers I have drawn on for this review and the helpful comments of the referees.
