Effect of Ocean Acidification on Iron Availability to Marine Phytoplankton

Shi, Dalin, Xu, Yan, Hopkinson, Brian M., Morel, François M. M.·2010·Science

Abstract

Ironed Out: In large regions of the ocean, low levels of the essential nutrient, iron, limits primary productivity. Iron's chemistry and bioavailability are highly dependent on pH. Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 is leading to the acidification of the ocean. Shi et al. (p. 676 , published online 14 January; see the Perspective by Sunda ) show that the bioavailable fraction of iron dissolved in the ocean may decline as a result of the decrease in ocean pH, which affects the rate of iron uptake by diatoms and coccolithophores. Unless iron input to the oceans increases, these changes may lead to an increase in the iron stress of phytoplankton.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
