Journal ArticleDOI
The silica balance in the world ocean: a reestimate.
Paul Tréguer,David M. Nelson,Aleido J. van Bennekom,David J. DeMaster,Aude Leynaert,Bernard Quéguiner +5 more
TL;DR: The net inputs of silicic acid (dissolved silica) to the world ocean have been revised to 6.1 � 2.0 teramoles of silicon per year (1 teramole = 1012 moles).
Journal Article
Metal enrichment experiments in the Weddell-Scotia Seas
TL;DR: The European Polarstern Study (EPOS 1988/1989) in the Weddell and Scotia Seas, five series of metal enrichment experiments were carried out with natural plankton communities under ultraclean conditions, and the species composition of the plankton community, monitored by HPLC pigment analysis and microscopic observations, changed in favor of diatoms when Fe was added as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal enrichment experiments in the Weddell-Scotia Seas: Effects of iron and manganese on various plankton communities
TL;DR: Fe had an impact on plankton growth and species composition, but other factors seem to be responsible for keeping phytoplankton productivity far from its potential in these Antarctic waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of Biogenic Silica in the Weddell-Scotia Seas Measured with 32Si
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method based on 32Si (a P-emitter in equi- librium with 32P) was implemented to determine biogenic silica (BSi) production in the Weddell-Scotia Confluence zone.
