Funded Activity Summary

Factors influencing the bioavailability of iron in marine waters. Strong evidence now exists that iron availability controls the productivity and species composition of planktonic organisms in open oceans and coastal and estuarine environments. The mechanisms by which iron is rendered available and induces growth remain unclear but appear to involve, in many instances, light and both generic and specific organic complexants of iron. In this study, we investigate the effect of selected naturally occurring complexants on redox transformations of iron with particular emphasis given to the potential ability of organics and light to increase the bioavailability of iron.
