Interconnection of nitrogen fixers and iron in the Pacific Ocean: Theory and numerical simulations (2012, methodology): “Since diazotrophs have a low maximum growth rate they are out competed in transient blooms and are excluded from higher latitudes anyway [Monteiro et al., 2011].”
The Biological carbon pump in the North Atlantic (2014, background): “of highest dust deposition (Monteiro et al., 2011), incubation experiments to address this hypothesis have been somewhat ambiguous, potentially due to the low density of nitrogen fixers in the upper water column where N fixation takes place.”
Iron, phosphorus, and nitrogen supply ratios define the biogeography of nitrogen fixation (2013, methodology): “The flux ratios derived with this model, defined in the Web Appendix, include sedimentary sources and atmospheric iron deposition (Luo et al. 2008) but do not yet account for atmospheric nitrogen deposition or preferential remineralization of phosphorus (Monteiro et al. 2011).”
