Silicic acid leakage from the Southern Ocean as a possible mechanism for explaining glacial atmospheric pCO 2, Global Biogeochem
[1] Using a simple box model, we investigate the effects of a reduced Si:N uptake ratio by Antarctic phytoplankton on the marine silica cycle and atmospheric pCO2. Recent incubation experiments demonstrate such a phenomenon in diatoms when iron is added [Hutchins and Bruland, 1998; Takeda, 1998; Fra...
