So we expected that ocean acidification - driven changes in ocean biogeochemistry in the water column can also be reflected in the microlayer. (oceanacidification.de)
Professor Achterberg, who is based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, says: «There is an urgent need to understand micronutrient, trace element and isotope cycles to advance our understanding of ocean biogeochemistry in the present day ocean and in the past. (sciencedaily.com)
Deposition of mineral dust plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of the oceans, by providing the nutrient iron, which affects ocean biogeochemistry with feedbacks to climate and dust production (Jickells et al., 2005; Section 7.3.4.4). (ipcc.ch)
