Iron and manganese co-limit the growth of two phytoplankton groups dominant at two locations of the Drake Passage
Iron and manganese play an important role in phytoplankton biomass control, but the exact effect of these elements on species composition has remained unknown. Conducting phytoplankton incubation experiments at two Drake Passage sites, we demonstrate how iron and manganese regulate phytoplankton com...

| Summary: | Iron and manganese play an important role in phytoplankton biomass control, but the exact effect of these elements on species composition has remained unknown. Conducting phytoplankton incubation experiments at two Drake Passage sites, we demonstrate how iron and manganese regulate phytoplankton community structure. |
