Recycled iron fuels new production in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean
In the eastern equatorial Pacific, upwelling supplies nitrate in excess of iron relative to phytoplankton requirements. Here, using nitrate isotopes, the authors show that iron recycling in surface waters supports nitrate consumption, lowering surface nitrate concentration and explaining its variati...

In the eastern equatorial Pacific, upwelling supplies nitrate in excess of iron relative to phytoplankton requirements. Here, using nitrate isotopes, the authors show that iron recycling in surface waters supports nitrate consumption, lowering surface nitrate concentration and explaining its variation. |
