We present results from a field study of inorganic carbon (C) acquisition by Ross Sea phytoplankton during Phaeocystis-dominated early season blooms. Isotope disequilibrium experiments revealed that HCO3- was the primary inorganic C source for photosynthesis in all phytoplankton assemblages. From th...
