Mesoscale Iron Enrichment Experiments 1993-2005: Synthesis and Future Directions

This comprehensive overview by expert researchers showcases the history, key papers, and findings of mesoscale iron enrichment experiments from 1993 to 2005. Explore the Iron Hypothesis and its role in phytoplankton growth, testing methodologies, and the impact of iron addition on primary production in HNLC areas. Uncover questions on nutrient use and export, with comparisons across 12 FeAX's HNLC locations. Discover the common experimental framework for analysis and the path forward in this vital research field.

  1. Mesoscale Iron Enrichment Experiments 1993-2005: Synthesis and Future Directions P. W. Boyd, T. Jickells, C. S. Law, S. Blain, E. A. Boyle, K. O. Buesseler, K. H. Coale, J. J. Cullen, H. J. W. de Baar, M. Follows, M. Harvey, C. Lancelot, M. Levasseur, N. P. J. Owens, R. Pollard, R. B. Rivkin, J. Sarmiento, V. Schoemann, V. Smetacek, S. Takeda, A. Tsuda, S. Turner, A. J. Watson

  2. History Several Important Papers, 1990-91: Glacial-Interglacial CO2 Change: the Iron Hypothesis The Case For Iron Hypothesis: “phytoplankton growth in major nutrient-rich waters is limited by iron deficiency” Testing: Early small scale testing & shipboard work uncertain Mesoscale experiments suggested

  3. Mesoscale Iron Addition Experiments Questions? Will Fe increase Primary Production in HNLC areas? Subsequent affect on Nutrient use? On export? 12 FeAX’s HNLC locations (See Figure 1) Common experimental framework for comparison
