Manganese co-limitation of phytoplankton growth and major nutrient drawdown in the Southern Ocean

Southern Ocean productivity is a crucial component of the carbon cycle, but phytoplankton there are thought to be limited by iron. Here the authors conduct trace metal incubation experiments across the Drake Passage, finding that manganese can play an unexpected role in restricting phytoplankton gro...
