The natural iron fertilization experiment KEOPS (KErguelen Ocean and Plateau compared Study): An overview
When the first scientific voyages went to the Southern Ocean, high levels of living biomass were observed in the vicinity of islands. Hart (1942) was the first to mention that the abundant biomass might be due to the release of oligoelements like iron from the island. This hypothesis, however, remai...
