There is a widely recognized link between iron bioavailability and phytoplankton growth in
large tracts of the World Ocean. Iron bioavailability is thus pivotal to the removal of …

Primary production by phytoplankton represents a major pathway whereby atmospheric
CO2 is sequestered in the ocean, but this requires iron, which is in scarce supply. As over …

Based on an international workshop (Gothenburg, 14–16 May 2008), this review article aims
to combine interdisciplinary knowledge from coastal and open ocean research on iron …

Organic complexation of iron plays a crucial role in preventing its precipitation, facilitating its
transport, and modulating its reactivity and bioavailability in natural waters. Although humic …

Environmental Context. Several trace elements are essential to the growth of
microorganisms, iron being arguably the most important. Marine microorganisms, which …

Humic ligands from boreal rivers have been identified as important sources of iron-binding
ligands to the coastal marine environment but remain poorly characterized. A novel method …

This study used an ocean general circulation model to simulate the marine iron cycle in an
investigation of how simulated distributions of weak iron‐binding ligands would be expected …

Iron (Fe) is a limiting nutrient for phytoplankton productivity in many different oceanic
regions. A critical aspect underlying iron limitation is its low solubility in seawater as this …

Abstract In the Southern Ocean, phytoplankton growth is largely limited by the lack of iron,
affecting the biogeochemical cycling not only of iron itself but also of other elements …

The processes involved in the biogeochemical cycle of Fe in the oceans have been
intensely discussed in recent decades because this element is limiting to primary …
