Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoscale iron enrichment experiments 1993-2005 : Synthesis and future directions
Philip W. Boyd,Tim Jickells,Cliff S. Law,Stéphane Blain,Edward A. Boyle,Ken O. Buesseler,Kenneth H. Coale,John J. Cullen,H. J. W. de Baar,Michael J. Follows,Mike Harvey,Christiane Lancelot,Maurice Levasseur,N. P. J. Owens,Raymond T. Pollard,Richard B. Rivkin,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Véronique Schoemann,Victor Smetacek,Shigenobu Takeda,Atsushi Tsuda,Suzanne M. Turner,Andrew J. Watson +22 more
TL;DR: The findings of these 12 FeAXs reveal that iron supply exerts controls on the dynamics of plankton blooms, which in turn affect the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur and ultimately influence the Earth climate system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem dynamics based on plankton functional types for global ocean biogeochemistry models

Watson,Dieter Wolf-Gladrow +23 more
TL;DR: The Dynamic Green Ocean Model (DGOM) as mentioned in this paper is based on the identification of key plankton functional types that need to be simulated explicitly to capture important biogeochemical processes in the ocean, and sources of information necessary to parameterize each of these processes within a modeling framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
The decline and fate of an iron-induced subarctic phytoplankton bloom
Philip W. Boyd,Cliff S. Law,Chi Shing Wong,Yukihiro Nojiri,Atsushi Tsuda,Maurice Levasseur,Shigenobu Takeda,Richard B. Rivkin,Paul Harrison,Paul Harrison,Robert F. Strzepek,Jim Gower,R.

TL;DR: The depletion of silicic acid and the inefficient transfer of iron-increased POC below the permanent thermocline have major implications both for the biogeochemical interpretation of times of greater iron supply in the geological past, and also for proposed geo-engineering schemes to increase oceanic carbon sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogenic carbon cycling in the upper ocean: effects of microbial respiration.
Richard B. Rivkin,Louis Legendre +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that bacterial respiration generally accounts for most community respiration, which implies that a larger fraction of assimilated carbon is respired at low than at high latitudes, so a greater proportion of production can be exported in polar than in tropical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps

TL;DR: End-to-end modeling is in its early developmental stages and thus presents an opportunity to establish an open-access, community-based approach supported by a suite of true interdisciplinary efforts.
