Mesoscale distribution of dominant diatom species relative to the hydrographical field along the Antarctic Polar Front (2002, background): “Although the mechanisms are still poorly understood, there is little doubt that diatoms can indeed maintain their position in the surface layer (Waite et al., 1997; Waite and Nodder, 2001).”
Iron-mediated changes in phytoplankton photosynthetic competence during SOIREE (2001, background): “Similarly, decreases in sinking rates of large cells, a proxy for the alleviation of iron limitation (Muggli et al., 1996), were not recorded until day 5 (Waite and Nodder, 2001).”
The relative importance of phytoplankton aggregates and zooplankton fecal pellets to carbon export: insights from free-drifting sediment trap deployments in naturally iron-fertilised waters near the Kerguelen Plateau (2014, background): “…other artificial and natural iron experiments (SOIREE, CROZEX and EiFeX) have demonstrated a direct export via the sinking of phytodetrital aggregates or single phytoplankton cells (Boyd et al., 2000; Waite and Nodder, 2001; Pollard et al., 2007; Salter et al., 2007; Smetacek et al., 2012).”
