Long-range transport of dust enhances oceanic iron bioavailability

Wind-borne dust supply of iron (Fe) to the oceans plays a crucial role in Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. Iron, a limiting micronutrient for phytoplankton growth, is fundamental in regulating ocean primary productivity and in turn the global carbon cycle. The flux of bioavailable Fe to the open ocean...
