Availability of iron and major nutrients for phytoplankton in the northeast Atlantic Ocean
International audience Because of recent findings that Fe is a limiting factor for phytoplankton activity even at relatively high dissolved iron (DFe) concentrations, the potential importance of Fe limitation was revisited in the northeast Atlantic Ocean (39-458N, 17-218W). We report data gathered d...

International audience Because of recent findings that Fe is a limiting factor for phytoplankton activity even at relatively high dissolved iron (DFe) concentrations, the potential importance of Fe limitation was revisited in the northeast Atlantic Ocean (39-458N, 17-218W).
