MARINE PRODUCTIVITY

Item #d95feb90

"Atmospheric Wet Deposition of Nutrient Elements: Correlation with Harmful Biological Blooms in Northwest Pacific Coastal Zones," (see PROF. PUBS./GEN. INTEREST).

Item #d95feb91

"The Microbial Turnover of Carbon in the Deep-Sea Environment," H.W. Jannasch (Woods Hole Oceanog. Inst., Woods Hole MA 02543), Global & Planetary Change, 9(3-4), 289-295, Dec. 1994.

A background paper for the First International Workshop on Interaction of CO₂ and the Ocean. Covers the constraints of metabolism and growth by carbon limitation, temperature and pressure; the existence of background or threshold concentrations of readily metabolizable organic carbon; and the production of organic carbon by chemosynthesis fueled by terrestrial energy and its subsequent turnover to CO₂.

Item #d95feb92

"Proxy Paradox for P-Prediction," K.C. Ruttenberg (addr. immed. above), Nature, 372(6503), 224-225, Nov. 17, 1994.

Over geological timescales, the sole significant source of phosphorus to the oceans is erosion of continental crustal material transported by rivers. Cites observations by Filippelli and Delaney that are reported in Paleoceanography regarding chemical proxies used to estimate P weathering.

Item #d95feb93

"A Line in the Sea," J.A. Yoder (Grad. Sch. Oceanog., Univ. Rhode Island, S. Ferry Rd., Narragansett RI 02882), S.G. Ackleson et al., ibid., 371(6499), 689-692, Oct. 20, 1994.

Presents photographs and measurements which show dramatic biological responses to circulation and mixing processes associated with an open-ocean front between cold, upwelled waters and warmer waters. High phytoplankton biomass and primary production associated with diatom patches may explain high animal abundance along such a frontal boundary.

Item #d95feb94

"Isotopic Evidence for Reduced Productivity in the Glacial Southern Ocean," A. Shemesh, S.A. Macko et al., Science, 262(5132), Oct. 15, 1993. (See Global Climate Change Digest, July 1994)

Item #d95feb95

"Testing the Iron Hypothesis in Ecosystems of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean," J.H. Martin, K.H. Coale et al., Nature, 371(6493), 123-129, Sep. 8, 1994. (See Global Climate Change Digest, Sep. 1994)

Item #d95feb96

"Solubilities of Al, Pb, Cu, and Zn in Rain Sampled in the Marine Environment over the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea," B. Lim (Sch. Environ. Sci., Univ. E. Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK), T.D. Jickells et al., Global Biogeochem. Cycles, 8(3), 349-362, Sep. 1994.

The use of trace metal solubilities for assessing dissolved atmospheric trace metal wet deposition fluxes and their effects on surface ocean biogeochemistry should be constrained by taking rainwater pH into account in future global model estimates.

Item #d95feb97
