Atmospheric acidification of mineral aerosols: a source of bioavailable phosphorus for the oceans

Primary productivity of continental and marine ecosystems is often limited or co-limited by phosphorus. Deposition of atmospheric aerosols provides the major external source of phosphorus to marine surface waters. However, only a fraction of deposited aerosol phosphorus is water soluble and availabl...
