Not exact matches

(Iron fertilization enthusiasts focus on the Southern Ocean because other seas have much more natural algae, so growing blooms might just foster growth that would have happened anyway.)

Oceanographers have long recognized that iron fertilization in the Southern Ocean will drive phytoplankton blooms.

Possible mechanisms include (iv) fertilization of phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean by increased deposition of iron - containing dust from the atmosphere after being carried by winds from colder, drier continental areas, and a subsequent redistribution of limiting nutrients; (v) an increase in the whole ocean nutrient content (e.g., through input of material exposed on shelves or nitrogen fixation); and (vi) an increase in the ratio between carbon and other nutrients assimilated in organic material, resulting in a higher carbon export per unit of limiting nutrient expoOcean by increased deposition of iron - containing dust from the atmosphere after being carried by winds from colder, drier continental areas, and a subsequent redistribution of limiting nutrients; (v) an increase in the whole ocean nutrient content (e.g., through input of material exposed on shelves or nitrogen fixation); and (vi) an increase in the ratio between carbon and other nutrients assimilated in organic material, resulting in a higher carbon export per unit of limiting nutrient expoocean nutrient content (e.g., through input of material exposed on shelves or nitrogen fixation); and (vi) an increase in the ratio between carbon and other nutrients assimilated in organic material, resulting in a higher carbon export per unit of limiting nutrient exported.

There have been iron fertilization experiments of the ocean before, many of them, in the equatorial Pacific, the Southern Ocean, and the North Pacocean before, many of them, in the equatorial Pacific, the Southern Ocean, and the North PacOcean, and the North Pacific.

Blain, S. Effect of natural iron fertilization on carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean.

Following the SOFeX iron - fertilization experiment in the Southern Ocean, deep - diving Carbon Explorer floats continuously collected data for over a year, straight through the Antarctic winter.

For iron fertilization forcing, we choose temperature − dust relationships from the high southern latitudes, as the Southern Ocean is the main region where this process is rsouthern latitudes, as the Southern Ocean is the main region where this process is rSouthern Ocean is the main region where this process is relevant.

To estimate the role of time - varying, ocean iron fertilization, we turned to the Southern Ocean, the main HNLC, iron - limited region of the global oocean iron fertilization, we turned to the Southern Ocean, the main HNLC, iron - limited region of the global oOcean, the main HNLC, iron - limited region of the global oceanocean.

Here we took a different approach by seeking and applying dust deposition observations from hotspots for dust radiative and iron fertilization forcing: NH subtropical latitudes and the Southern Ocean.

This allows us to scale the two records by their respective interglacial levels, combine them to better resolve the Southern Ocean, and use the combined record as our proxy for glacial / interglacial iron fertilization forcing.

Potential carbon dioxide (CO2) drawdown through dust - induced iron fertilization of ocean biota is restricted to high - nutrient, low - chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, mainly the Southern Ocean and northern Pacific where iron is the limiting micronutrient (6,ocean biota is restricted to high - nutrient, low - chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, mainly the Southern Ocean and northern Pacific where iron is the limiting micronutrient (6,Ocean and northern Pacific where iron is the limiting micronutrient (6, 13).

Early climate models hinted that intentional iron fertilization across the entire southern Ocean could erase 1 billion to 2 billion tons of carbon emissions each year — 10 to 25 percent of the world's annual total.
