| Abstract | In the Southern Ocean, eukaryotic phytoplankton form the base of the food web and contribute to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2. However, phytoplankton require trace metal micronutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc, and cobalt to grow, and at times, low availability of these nutrients limits their growth. Despite the influence of these nutrients, a quantitative understanding of how polar phytoplankton use them or respond to limitation by them is lacking. Increased temperatures have also been s |
