This study highlights the importance of manganese (Mn) next to iron (Fe) for the growth of specific Southern Ocean phytoplankton groups with important implications for primary production in the Weddell Sea. Two Fe-Mn-light bottle amendment experiment were performed with a natural phytoplankton commu...
