This study highlights the importance of manganese (Mn) next to iron (Fe) for growth of specific Southern Ocean phytoplankton groups. Two Fe-Mn bottle amendment experiments with two natural phytoplankton communities were performed during Polarstern expedition PS97 in 2016 in the Drake Passage. At two...
