TL;DR: Findings indicate that iron limitation can control rates of phytoplankton productivity and biomass in the ocean.

TL;DR: Observations provide unequivocal support for the hypothesis that phytoplankton growth in this oceanic region is limited by iron bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical variability in the Black Sea: implications of continuous vertical profiles that penetrated the oxic/anoxic interface
TL;DR: In this article, a pumping system was employed to generate continuous vertical profiles of nutrients, sulfide, temperature, salinity and light transmission to depths as great as 360 m and to collect oxygen samples from discrete depths.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) program has begun deploying a large array of biogeochemical sensors on profiling floats in the Southern Ocean as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen fixation by unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria in the temperate oligotrophic North Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: The calculated areal N2 fixation rate (15 m mol Nm 22 d21) was small compared with estimates from other regions of the Pacific; however, the estimated fixation rate was similar to other published results, suggesting that processes other than cellular growth rate may determine the abundance of unicellular diazotrophs.
