Highlights • Oceanic nutrient supply from seabird guano is poorly constrained by field observations. • This was assessed for guano from caught-and-released North Atlantic seabirds. • Guano released nutrients and relieved in situ phytoplankton nutrient limitation. • Guano was modelled to potentially...
