biogeochemistry is also influenced by tides, which bring matter and energy
in as they rise.
«What makes this discovery particularly noteworthy is that we mapped out a landscape of bioessential elements

The working group on coupled biogeochemical cycling and controlling factors dealt with questions regarding the role of plankton diversity, how
ocean biogeochemistry will respond to global changes on decadal to centennial time scales, the key biogeochemical links between the
ocean, atmosphere, and climate, and the role of estuaries, shelves, and marginal seas
in the capturing, transformation, and exchange of terrestrial and open - marine material.
During a research cruise
in the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre 754 «Climate —
Biogeochemistry Interactions
in the Tropical
Ocean,» the research team was searching for an answer to this question.
This is an important advance because nutrient uptake is a central property of
ocean biogeochemistry, and
in many regions controls carbon dioxide fixation, which ultimately can play a role
in mitigating climate change.
Lead author of the study Dr Tom Gernon, Lecturer
in Earth Science at the University of Southampton, said: «When volcanic material is deposited
in the
oceans it undergoes very rapid and profound chemical alteration that impacts the
biogeochemistry of the
oceans.

biogeochemistry and
ocean observing
in general.

In this context it doesn't really matter where the CO2 is coming from (since it becomes well - mixed in the air over less than a few years), though the most plausible hypotheses usually require the Southern Ocean to be involved, and the associated feedbacks of ocean biogeochemistry and its interaction with the ocean's physical circulatio

in the global
ocean observing system.
US CLIVAR is collaborating with the
ocean carbon and

At the same time, increased warming from CO2 affects the
ocean's
biogeochemistry and ecosystems
in complex and uncertain ways.
Deposition of mineral dust plays an important role
in the biogeochemical cycle of the
oceans, by providing the nutrient iron, which affects

in this region as well.
Hence, use of coastal typologies, which consider the elements above, has led to an improved capacity to represent and integrate
