When covariance of trace metals and prokaryotic taxa are tagging water masses (Southern Indian Ocean)
Zhang and colleagues investigated the potential reciprocal links between diverse prokaryotic taxa and concentrations of trace elements.
Remineralization
Scavenging differentiates the distribution of cadmium, nickel, zinc and copper in the North Pacific Ocean
Zheng and co-authors observed sectional distributions of cadmium, nickel, zinc, and copper in the North Pacific Ocean during three GEOTRACES related cruises…
When lateral advective transport explains between 80 and 100% of the dissolved aluminium distribution
The results evidence that the effect of advection cannot be neglected in areas where a conjunction of significant horizontal dissolved aluminium gradients and significant horizontal currents is found.
High mesopelagic carbon remineralization traced by particulate biogenic barium in the North Atlantic Ocean
The high resolution section of particulate “excess Ba” (Baxs) measured by Lemaitre and co-authors (2018, see reference below) along the GEOVIDE GA1 section (R/V Pourquoi Pas? spring 2014) confirmed the […]
Enlighten why macro and micronutrients display different remineralization length scales
Boyd and co-workers (2017, see reference below) explore the abiotic and biotic mechanisms that underpin internal metal cycling. Although they are focusing on iron (Fe) as the best-characterized metal, they […]
