The importance of kinetics and redox in the biogeochemical cycling of iron in the surface ocean.
It is now well established that Iron (Fe) is a limiting element in many regions of the open ocean. Our current understanding of the key processes which control iron distribution in the open ocean have been largely based on thermodynamic measurements performed under the assumption of equilibrium cond...
