Nutrient and light conditions control phytoplankton division rates in the surface ocean and, it
is commonly believed, dictate when and where high concentrations, or blooms, of plankton …

Our review of the literature has revealed Southern Ocean subsurface chlorophyll-a maxima
(SCMs) to be an annually recurrent feature throughout the basin. Most of these SCMs are …

Stratified oceanic systems are characterized by the presence of a so‐called Deep
Chlorophyll a Maximum (DCM) not detectable by ocean color satellites. A DCM can either …

Antarctic coastal polynyas are biologically rich ecosystems that support large populations of
mammals and birds and are globally significant sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide. To …

Dissolved iron (DFe) and total dissolvable Fe (TDFe) were measured in January–February
2009 in Pine Island Bay, as well as in the Pine Island and Amundsen polynyas (Amundsen …

We report a comprehensive dataset of dissolved iron (Fe) comprising 482 values at 22
complete vertical profiles along a 1° latitudinal section at the Zero meridian. In addition a …

Iron (Fe) is an essential trace element for marine life. Extremely low Fe concentrations limit
primary production and nitrogen fixation in large parts of the oceans and consequently …

Since the start of the industrial revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations, which have, in turn, had an impact on …

The rare earth elements (REEs) are an important tool for understanding biogeochemical
cycling and sedimentary processes in the global ocean. However, ambiguities in the marine …

We conducted a factorial shipboard continuous culture experiment to examine the
interactive effects of altered iron, irradiance and CO2 on the summer phytoplankton …
