Fisher (2004a), Element stoichiometries of individual plankton cells collected during the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX), Limnol
During the Southern Ocean Iron Experiment (SOFeX), we analyzed Si, P, S, Mn, Ni, and Zn in individual diatoms, autotrophic flagellates, and heterotrophic flagellates with synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) and calcu-lated cellular C from measurements of cell size. Element stoichiometries fo...
