Sentences with phrase «other iron fertilization»

It remains unclear at this point which particular species bloomed as a result of the HSRC iron release but the team is sending out for analysis more than 10,000 water samples, data the HSRC team says it will share as other iron fertilization experiments have done.

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.)

According to Ingall, removal of iron by diatom - dominated phytoplankton communities may dampen the intended outcome of enhanced carbon uptake through iron fertilization by reducing the productivity of other phytoplankton, which take up carbon dioxide more efficiently.

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 exported.

This paper considers the practicalities, opportunities and threats associated with one of the earliest proposed carbon - removal techniques: large - scale ocean fertilization, achieved by adding iron or other nutrients to surface waters.

While many of the participants raised concerns about the efficacy and safety of large - scale iron fertilization, others seemed to acknowledge that the urgency of the climate crisis warranted the continuation of carefully designed experiments — pointing out that, if done appropriately, they could provide a win - win for both scientists and businesses interested in selling carbon offsets.

Other emerging threats include those from iron and urea fertilization; other geoengineering schemes, for example to include pumps to bring colder and deeper waters to the surface, noise which can disrupt marine mammal cycles and may also effect fish behavior disrupting vibration patterns in the water colOther emerging threats include those from iron and urea fertilization; other geoengineering schemes, for example to include pumps to bring colder and deeper waters to the surface, noise which can disrupt marine mammal cycles and may also effect fish behavior disrupting vibration patterns in the water colother geoengineering schemes, for example to include pumps to bring colder and deeper waters to the surface, noise which can disrupt marine mammal cycles and may also effect fish behavior disrupting vibration patterns in the water column6.
