Siderophores in environmental research: roles and applications (2014, background): “Marine bacteria produce most of the organic Fe chelators present in seawater and thereby play a significant role in the biogeochemical cycling of Fe in the ocean (Boyd et al., 2007).”
Interconnection of nitrogen fixers and iron in the Pacific Ocean: Theory and numerical simulations (2012, background): “Community structure responds to changes in the supply of limiting nutrients (e.g., iron fertilization [Boyd et al., 2007; de Baar et al., 2005]) and, at the same time, microbial communities mediate marine biogeochemical cycles.”
Effect of Diatom Silica Content on Copepod Grazing, Growth and Reproduction (2016, neutral): “They form spring blooms in the temperate and polar seas and after artificial or natural iron inputs in high nitrate low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions (Ducklow and Harris, 1993; Boyd et al., 2007).”
The 2008 Emiliania huxleyi bloom along the Patagonian Shelf: Ecology, biogeochemistry, and cellular calcification (2013, background): “Such sedimentary iron inputs associated with shallow topography are common features of phytoplankton blooms in the high-nutrient lowchlorophyll (HNLC) Southern Ocean [Boyd et al., 2007].”
Southern Ocean iron fertilization by baleen whales and Antarctic krill (2010, background): “Iron is the limiting micronutrient in the Southern Ocean and experiments have now unequivocally demonstrated that addition of soluble iron to surface waters results in phytoplankton blooms, particularly of large diatoms (see summary by Boyd et al. 2007).”
Co-limitation of diatoms by iron and silicic acid in the equatorial Pacific (2011, background): “Dominance by diatoms following Fe addition is consistent with the cell count data and with nearly every microcosm and in situ Fe fertilization experiment that has been conducted in HNLC waters (Chavez et al., 1991; de Baar et al., 2005; Boyd et al., 2007).”
Pseudo-nitzschia physiological ecology, phylogeny, toxicity, monitoring and impacts on ecosystem health (2012, background): “1 ) (Marchetti et al., 2004, 2006, 2008), the mesoscale iron-fertiliza-tion experiments (cf. reviews by de Baar et al., 2005; Boyd et al., 2007), starting in the 1990s, have provided some opportunist information on both Pseudo-nitzschia competition and DA production.”
Exopolysaccharides produced by bacteria isolated from the pelagic Southern Ocean - Role in Fe binding, chemical reactivity, and bioavailability (2011, neutral): “Fe limits primary productivity in up to 40% of the ocean (Boyd et al., 2007).”
Regional impacts of iron-light colimitation in a global biogeochemical model (2009, background): “…limitation is expressed by the term Deffe as described below.20 In calculating DefFe we represent the fact that, in contrast to nitrogen and carbon, Fe is taken up by phytoplankton in a highly variable ratio to phosphorus (e.g. Sunda and Huntsman, 1997; Marchetti et al., 2006b; Boyd et al., 2007).”
Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “In the global ocean, the iron cycle affects, directly and indirectly, the biogeochemical cycling of C, N, P, Si, and S and thus exerts a strong influence on the regulation of the Earth’s climate (654).”
