1 Iron biogeochemistry & the HNLC condition Philip Boyd Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies 2014
2 Outline HNLC waters definition and implications What causes the HNLC condition? Everyday life in HNLC waters A closer look at the Southern Ocean Ready for iron opportunism by HNLC biota Iron biogeochemistry
3 HNLC waters definition and implications The existence of HNLC waters has long been known Ruud (1930) on a voyage to the whaling grounds at the ice edge of the Weddell Sea In contrast to elsewhere, the concentrations of phosphate and nitrate Proved to be very high.yet throughout the summer the phytoplankton Was hardly blooming The so-called Antarctic Paradox Gran (1931) Another study seemed to indicate that the growth of diatoms Is determined by other factors than the concentration of phosphates and nitrates Besides light and temperature..

10 [CO2] (ppmv) Fe ( mol/kg ice) HNLC waters in the geological past CO Iron Age (1000 yr) Martin 1990 This record has been taken further into the past (4 million years) during recent ODP studies in the Atlantic sector of the Subantarctic S. Ocean (Martínez-Garcia et al. 2011, Nature)
11 Courtesy Science Dust supply to the Southern Ocean increases during ice ages, and iron fertilization of the subantarctic zone may have contributed up to 40 ppmv of the decrease ( ppmv) in atmospheric carbon dioxide
12 [CO2] (ppmv) Fe ( mol/kg ice) 300 A more complex picture of the Ice ages is emerging from cores CO Iron Age (1000 yr) Antarctic Zone - reduced POC export Subantarctic Zone increased POC export coincident with rising dust fluxes In the subantarctic, glacial times are characterized by increases in: dust flux productivity the degree of nitrate consumption The consequent strengthening of the biological pump can explain the lowering of CO 2 at the transition from mid-climate states to full ice age conditions Jaccard et al Science; Martínez-Garcia et al. 2014, Science
13 What causes the HNLC condition? Strength of ocean circulation (Curtis s lecture on Wednesday) Geographical isolation from sources of aerosol iron Mismatch between the depth of the ferricline and nutricline/thermocline
14 Circulation-PO 4 model Surface PO 4 : Model Surface PO 4 : Climatology A model whose phytoplankton have a uniform growth rate, subject only to PO 4 limitation produce the observed features, but not their magnitudes. HNLC regions are at least partly a direct consequence of ocean circulation. Other limiting factors are important nearly everywhere (all latitudes). Longitude
