The significance of the episodic nature of atmospheric deposition to Low Nutrient Low Chlorophyll regions
In the vast Low Nutrient Low-Chlorophyll (LNLC) Ocean, the vertical nutrient supply from the subsurface to the sunlit surface waters is low, and atmospheric contribution of nutrients may be one order of magnitude greater over short timescales. The short turnover time of atmospheric Fe and N supply (<1month for nitrate) further supports deposition being an important source of nutrients in LNLC r...
متن کاملImpacts of atmospheric nutrient inputs on marine biogeochemistry
[1] The primary nutrients that limit marine phytoplankton growth rates include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe), and silicon (Si). Atmospheric transport and deposition provides a source for each of these nutrients to the oceans. We utilize an ocean biogeochemical model to examine the relative importance of these atmospheric inputs for ocean biogeochemistry and export production. In the c...
متن کاملEnhanced carbon overconsumption in response to increasing temperatures during a mesocosm experiment
Increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide are projected to lead to an increase in sea surface temperatures, potentially impacting marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. Here we conducted an indoor mesocosm experiment with a natural plankton community taken from the Baltic Sea in summer. We induced a plankton bloom via nutrient addition and followed the dynamics of the diffe...
متن کاملExperimental examination of the effects of atmospheric wet deposition on primary production in the Yellow Sea.
The effects of atmospheric wet deposition on primary production in the coastal Yellow Sea were examined by in situ incubation experiments in August, 1997. Phytoplankton species flourished in response to nutrient additions and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) increased significantly when rainwater was added. Concentration of Chl-a increased 2.6 times with the addition of 10% (v/v) rainwater. In a coastal e...
متن کاملImpacts of atmospheric nutrient deposition on marine productivity: Roles of nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron
[1] Nutrients are supplied to the mixed layer of the open ocean by either atmospheric deposition or mixing from deeper waters, and these nutrients drive nitrogen and carbon fixation. To evaluate the importance of atmospheric deposition, we estimate marine nitrogen and carbon fixation from present‐day simulations of atmospheric deposition of nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron. These are compared wit...
