Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

The way that nutrients cycle through atmospheric, terrestrial, oceanic and associated biotic
reservoirs can constrain rates of biological production and help structure ecosystems on …

In addition to control by major nutrient elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon) the
productivity and species composition of marine phytoplankton communities are also …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

A novel method, combining isotope dilution with standard additions, was developed for the
analysis of eight elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in seawater. The method …

We discuss the concept of colimitation of primary productivity in aquatic environments, with
an emphasis on reconciling this concept with recent advances in marine bioinorganic …

Considered esoteric only a few years ago, research into the stable isotope geochemistry of
transition metals is moving into the geoscience mainstream. Although initial attention …

Zinc (Zn) is a key micronutrient for marine phytoplankton, with a global distribution that is
similar to silicic acid. The processes that govern this relationship, despite the very different …

Abstract Zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) are important biologically active trace-metals in the
ocean. To date, the marine distributions of these elements have been understood primarily …

Nutrients are supplied to the mixed layer of the open ocean by either atmospheric deposition
or mixing from deeper waters, and these nutrients drive nitrogen and carbon fixation. To …
