- Abstract:
- Radiotracer labelling with high specific activity 32Si will be used to estimate silicate uptake rates and kinetics in samples taken from a series of stations between Iceland and the Scottish shelf as part of the Southampton Oceanography Centre FISHES 2001 cruise during the spring bloom period in April-May 2001. Ambient nutrient concentrations will be used to relate the 32Si production data to the developmental stage of the spring bloom. The data will be used to establish the potential role of Si limitation of diatom production and will also be interpreted in relation to concurrent C and N uptake rates and other measurements to be made by co--participants in the cruise programme in order to establish export production.
