- Abstract:
- We now know that atmospheric inputs of dust deliver iron to the oceans and that iron is a key limiting nutrient on algal productivity in some ocean areas. In order to predict the effect of changes in dust production, such as from desertification in North Africa, we need to know the solubility of iron from atmospheric dust. We propose here a novel method to address this issue using measurements of iron isotopic abundance.
