Pros and cons of nine bioactive trace elements as tracers of modern and paleo-productivity
Horner and co-authors assess whether nine bioactive trace metals and their isotopes can be used as paleo-productivity proxies.
Has the role of atmospheric dust as a control on productivity in oligotrophic regions been overestimated?
Dust particles settling into the surface of open ocean environments are for years assumed to provide nutrients to these distant nutrient-limited areas. Torfstein and Kienast (2018, see reference below) present […]
