The equatorial Pacific Ocean: grazer-controlled phytoplankton populations in an iron-limited ecosystem. Limnology and Oceanography
Experiments were conducted in the equatorial Pacific Ocean to assess the role of Fe and grazing in regulating use of N03- by the phytoplankton community. Nitrate uptake rates in situ were slow because NH,+ concentrations were inhibitory and because phytoplankton biomass was kept low by grazing. When...
