Seasonality of phytoplankton growth limitation by iron and manganese in subantarctic waters
Phytoplankton indirectly influence climate through their role in the ocean biological carbon pump. In the Southern Ocean, the subantarctic zone represents an important carbon sink, yet variables limiting phytoplankton growth are not fully constrained. Using three shipboard bioassay experiments on three separate voyages, we evaluated the seasonality of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) co-limitation of subantarctic phytoplankton growth south of Tasmani…
Spatial and seasonal distribution of dissolved and particulate bioactive metals in Antarctic sea ice
Iron (Fe) has been shown to limit growth of marine phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean, regulating phytoplankton productivity and species composition, yet does not seem to limit primary productivity in Antarctic sea ice. Little is known, however, about the potential impact of other metals in controlling sea-ice algae growth. Here, we report on the distribution of dissolved and particulate cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), ni…
Iron in sea ice
The discovery that melting sea ice can fertilize iron (Fe)-depleted polar waters has recently fostered trace metal research efforts in sea ice. The aim of this review is to summarize and synthesize the current understanding of Fe biogeochemistry in sea ice. To do so, we compiled available data on particulate, dissolved, and total dissolvable Fe (PFe, DFe and TDFe, respectively) from sea-ice studies from both polar regions and from sub-Arctic and …
