Iron and manganese co-limit the growth of two phytoplankton groups dominant at two locations of the Drake Passage

While it has been recently demonstrated that both iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) control Southern Ocean (SO) plankton biomass, how in particular Mn governs phytoplankton species composition remains yet unclear. This study, for the first time, highlights the importance of Mn next to Fe for growth of tw... View More
