Limitation by Fe, Zn, Co, and B12 Results in Similar Physiological Responses in Two Antarctic Phytoplankton Species

Limitation by Fe, Zn, Co, and B12 Results in Similar Physiological Responses in Two Antarctic Phytoplankton Species

In many areas of the world’s ocean such as the Southern Ocean (SO), primary production is low despite an abundance of macronutrients. In these high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions the trace metal (TM) iron (Fe) limits phytoplankton biomass and subsequently the biological carbon pump. Besides...
