The decline and fate of an iron-induced subarctic phytoplankton bloom

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.

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.
