Galaxies at z>1 show N/O ratios elevated by a median 0.18 dex at fixed O/H relative to local trends, reaching 0.4-0.5 dex at low metallicity.
New empirical calibrations between 19 emission-line ratios and oxygen abundance are derived from direct electron-temperature measurements in 139 star-forming galaxies at z=1.4-10.6.
