The coupling of carbon and iron cycles in the Southern Ocean through microbial metabolism

The Southern Ocean is known as a High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) region where major nutrients are present at high concentrations, but phytoplankton biomass remains low. This paradoxical situation is due to iron (Fe) limitation of phytoplankton growth. The increase in phytoplankton biomass in re...
