IRON ENHANCEMENT OF MARINE PHY
Iron Enhancement of Marine Phytoplankton
Abstract
As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels increase, efforts have been made to help restore these levels to their natural state. An intriguing hypothesis has been put forward in an attempt to reduce these levels. By seeding regions of the oceans, known as high-nitrate low chlorophyll areas, with iron, it is believed that phytoplankton populations will grow. This in turn, through the process of photosynthesis, will lower atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. …showed first 75 words of 2163 total…
