Nutrients that limit growth in the ocean
Abstract: Phytoplankton form the basis of the marine food web and are responsible for approximately half of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation (∼ 50 Pg of carbon per year). Thus, these microscopic, photosynthetic organisms are vital in controlling the atmospheric CO2 concentration and Earth's climate. Phytoplankton are dependent on sunlight and their CO2-fixation activity is therefore restricted to the upper, sunlit surface ocean (that is, the euphotic zone). CO2 usually does not limit phytoplankton growth due to its …

“…Consistent with Zhang et al (2015) and Mueller et al (2018) increased inorganic nitrogen significantly reduced organic carbon preservation in coastal marine sediments. The results were also was consistent with other studies such as Bristow et al (2017) which observed that nitrogen exerts a critical control on primary productivity. On the other hand, we observed the opposite relationship between total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN: a measure of organic nitrogen) and carbon sequestration, where carbon storage decreased with decreasing TKN concentration.…”

“…of nutrient concentrations with depth is consistent with our previous expectations [consider e.g. (Bristow et al, 2017)] and can be explained by remineralization processes of sinking marine snow within the deep water layers. Decreasing O2 concentrations from the Intermediate Water (NwArIW) to the Deep Water (NwDW) are also consistent with our prediction based on physical oceanography, as water layers more recently oxygenated at the ocean surface at their site of formation, typically carry more oxygen (Jeansson et al, 2017).…”

“…Vertical distribution of temperature and salinity matched with the typical T-S diagrams for the SW Atlantic Ocean (Cirano et al, 2006). The vertical distribution of phosphate, nitrate and silicate are explained by the high intake of nutrients by primary producers during photosynthesis in the photic layer (Suzuki et al, 2015;Bristow et al, 2017). Overall, the nutrient concentration was typical for the oligotrophic waters of the SW Atlantic Ocean, as those observed by Suzuki et al (2015).…”
