Why are phytoplankton in the @_SouthernOcean starving for iron? @FrontYoungMinds is an open-access science journal for kids, edited by kids. This paper by #Antarctic scientists @IMASUTAS has been reviewed by Jewel (10) and Tiberius (11). kids.frontiersin.org/article…

Why Are Phytoplankton in The Southern Ocean Starving for Iron?

In one of our largest oceans, tiny organisms called phytoplankton are starving! Not for spaghetti though. How would you like a dinner of iron soup? No? Well phytoplankton love it. Luckily, these...
