According to Dr Lutz «The limited duration of
previous ocean fertilization experiments may not be why carbon sequestration wasn't found during those artificial blooms.
Not exact matches
Note 1: the NAS study includes
ocean iron
fertilization, which I haven't included in the above graphic because «
previous studies nearly all agree that deploying
ocean iron
fertilization at climatically relevant levels poses risks that outweigh potential benefits.»
EFFECT OF NATURAL IRON
FERTILIZATION ON CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN THE SOUTHERN
OCEAN Nature, Vol 446 26 April 2007 doi: 10.1038 / nature05700 The efficiency of
fertilization, defined as the ratio of the carbon export to the amount of iron supplied, was at least ten times higher than
previous estimates from short - term blooms induced by iron - addition experiments.
