Interconnection of nitrogen fixers and iron in the Pacific Ocean: Theory and numerical simulations
We examine the interplay between iron supply, iron concentrations and phytoplankton communities in the Pacific Ocean. We present a theoretical framework which considers the competition for iron and nitrogen resources between phytoplankton to explain where nitrogen fixing autotrophs (diazotrophs, whi...
