Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient to oceanic microalgae, and its dissolved fraction (DFe) is retained in surface waters by Fe-binding ligands. Previous work has suggested that ligands may also bind Fe within sea ice, although supporting data are limited. This study investigates distribution, c...
