Iron-limited diatom growth and Si:N uptake ratios in a coastal upwelling regime

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of shipboard seawater incubation experiments were shown that phytoplankton are iron-limited in parts of the California coastal upwelling region, and that the addition of iron to these nearshore HNLC waters promotes blooms of large chain-forming diatoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scientists' Warning to Humanity: Microorganisms and Climate Change

Ricardo Cavicchioli, +34 more
TL;DR: This Consensus Statement documents the central role and global importance of microorganisms in climate change biology and puts humanity on notice that the impact of climate change will depend heavily on responses of micro organisms, which are essential for achieving an environmentally sustainable future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactive influences of bioactive trace metals on biological production in oceanic waters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the oceanic chemistries of the bioactive trace metals, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, combining field data with results from laboratory phytoplankton culture-trace metal studies and speculate on the potential influences of these trace metals on oceanic plankton production and species composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorus limitation of nitrogen fixation by Trichodesmium in the central Atlantic Ocean

TL;DR: Nitrogen fixation rates in the central Atlantic appear to be independent of both dissolved iron levels in sea water and iron content in Trichodesmium colonies, and the structural iron requirement for the growth of nitrogen-fixing organisms is much lower than previously calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competition among marine phytoplankton for different chelated iron species

TL;DR: Competition between prokaryotes and eukaryotes for organically-bound iron may depend on the chemical nature of available iron complexes, with consequences for ecological niche separation, plankton community size-structure and carbon export in low-iron waters.
