Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

A key Earth system science question is the role of atmospheric deposition in supplying vital
nutrients to the phytoplankton that form the base of marine food webs. Industrial and …

Droughts and climate-change-driven warming are leading to more frequent and intense
wildfires,–, arguably contributing to the severe 2019–2020 Australian wildfires. The …

The global cycle of desert dust aerosols responds strongly to climate and human
perturbations, and, in turn, impacts climate and biogeochemistry. Here we focus on desert …

Mineral dust particles suspended in the atmosphere span more than three orders of
magnitude in diameter, from< 0.1 µm to more than 100 µm. This wide size range makes dust …

Metal dissolution from atmospheric aerosol deposition to the oceans is important in
enhancing and inhibiting phytoplankton growth rates and modifying plankton community …

Atmospheric deposition is a source of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and thus can partially
control biological productivity in large parts of the ocean. However, the explanation of …

Atmospheric inputs of iron to the open ocean are hypothesized to modulate ocean
biogeochemistry. This review presents an integration of available observations of …

The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

Aerosols supply bioaccessible iron to marine biota which could affect climate through
biogeochemical feedbacks. This paper review progresses in research on pyrogenic aerosol …
