Marine productivity is often higher downstream than upstream of islands. This so-called island mass effect was tested and quantified with respect to biological carbon uptake and air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the Crozet Plateau between November 2004 and January 2005 during two CROZEX cr...
