Iron supply and demand in the upper ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the global distribution of annual iron assimilation by phytoplankton was estimated from distributions of satellite-derived oceanic primary production and measured (Fe:C)(cellular) ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of grazing in nutrient-rich areas of the open sea
TL;DR: In this article, an ecosystem process model of the phytoplankton-grazer interaction was proposed to explain the persistently low phyto-ankton stocks in the nutrient-rich areas of the open sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of factors controlling phytoplankton productivity in the NE and NW subarctic Pacific gyres
TL;DR: The NE subarctic Pacific gyre is one of the three major high nitrate low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions of the world as mentioned in this paper, which is dominated by small cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypotheses to explain high-nutrient conditions in the open sea
TL;DR: The iron hypothesis has been examined experimentally in the subarctic and equatorial Pacific and in Antarctic waters and it is shown that enrichment of high-nutrient waters with Fe would change the species composition of phytoplankton and food-web interactions, thereby enhancing utilization of NO{sub 3}.

Ecological dynamics in the subarctic Pacific, a possibly iron-limited ecosystem
Charles B. Miller,Bruce W. Frost,Patricia A. Wheeler,Michael R. Landry,Nicholas A. Welschmeyer,Thomas M. Powell +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, it has been suggested that production in offshore waters of the subarctic Pacific is limited by availability of dissolved Fe. Although that is not yet adequately established, the functional consequences of the limitation (if it exists) can be characterized from the results of the Super-Arctic Pacific Ecosystem Research (SUPER) program.

Vertex: phytoplankton/iron studies in the Gulf of Alaska
TL;DR: In this article, the authors concluded that Gulf of Alaska atmospheric Fe input rates are sufficient to support moderately high rates of primary productivity; however, not enough Fe is available to support the high growth rates that would lead to normal major nutrient depletion.
