Unique winter dataset of particulate and dissolved cadmium in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean
Cloete and collaborators analysed particulate and dissolved cadmium at 7 stations in austral winter along a North South section off South Africa.
Phosphate
Controls of cadmium-phosphate systematic unraveled by Neural Networks and Ocean Circulation Inverse Model
Roshan and DeVries explore the similarities and contrasts between oceanic cadmium and phosphate cycles using an Artificial Neural Network mapping technique and Ocean Circulation Inverse Model.
Surface South Pacific ecosystems reflect the availability of the nutrients iron, nitrate and phosphate
Thanks to a high resolution section across the South Pacific (150°E-150°W, GEOTRACES GP13 cruise), Ellwood and co-workers (2018, see reference below) identify that the gradient of sources and fates of […]
Impressive set of data reveal new features on the modern cadmium–phosphate relationship
Xie and co-authors (2015, see reference below) report vertical profiles of dissolved cadmium (Cd) in the western South Atlantic Ocean (GEOTRACES section GA02), which show nutrient-like distributions similar to those […]
Changing the cadmium : phosphorus paradigm?
The well-established strong linear relationship linking dissolved cadmium (Cd) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in seawater is at the origin of the attraction of Cd as a proxy for PO4 in […]
Substantial intra-basin variation of the dissolved metal/phosphorus ratio in the different water masses of the Indian Ocean
The first simultaneous, full-depth, and basin-scale section-distribution of dissolved (D) aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) is […]
Arsenic detoxification by phytoplankton reveals that arsenic species could be good proxies of phosphorus limitation
Some phytoplankton species have the capacity to modify surface water arsenic speciation, inhibiting its toxicity. Such detoxification is operative in oligotrophic waters when phosphate concentrations are below those for arsenic […]
