Marine biogenic humic substances control iron biogeochemistry across the Southern Ocean

Abstract Iron, which is an essential element for marine photosynthesis, is sparingly soluble in seawater. In consequence, iron bioavailability controls primary productivity in up to 40% of the world’s ocean, including most of the Southern Ocean. Organic ligands are critical to maintaining iron in so...
