Trace metals are required for numerous processes in phytoplankton and can influence the
growth and structure of natural phytoplankton communities. The metal contents of …

A novel method, combining isotope dilution with standard additions, was developed for the
analysis of eight elements (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in seawater. The method …

It has been inferred that the marine distributions of the micronutrient cadmium (Cd) and its
stable isotope composition (expressed as δ 114 Cd) bear widespread and unambiguous …

Nickel is a biologically-active trace metal whose dissolved concentration depth profiles in
the ocean show nutrient-like behaviour. If the pronounced removal of nickel from the …

The biogeochemical cycling of cadmium (Cd) and its isotopes in the surface ocean is
dominated by biological uptake into phytoplankton, while regeneration of the sinking …

Zinc is an essential trace metal for oceanic primary producers with the highest
concentrations in polar oceans. However, its role in the biological functioning and adaptive …

We present depth profiles of Cd isotopes and concentrations from the Southern Ocean at
four stations in the Atlantic sector along the Greenwich Meridian (47° S to 68° S) located …

The biogeochemical cycle of zinc (Zn) in the South Atlantic, at 40° S, was investigated as
part of the UK GEOTRACES program. To date there is little understanding of the supply of …

Dissolved zinc (Zn) has a nutrient‐type distribution in the ocean that more closely resembles
the distribution of silicate (Si) than phosphate (PO4). However, Zn is a trace‐nutrient and …

Nickel (Ni) is a bio-essential element required for the growth of phytoplankton. It is the least
studied bio-essential element, mainly because surface ocean Ni concentrations are never …
