Comment on "The Southern Ocean Biological Response to Aeolian Iron Deposition"

Cassar et al . (Reports, 24 August 2007, p. 1067) proposed that aerosol-iron input enhances Southern Ocean export production. Their conclusion critically depends upon aerosol-iron modeling simulations not validated with iron-deposition data and dust dissolution rates based on Northern Hemisphere atm...
