The particulate matter distribution and phytoplankton community structure of the iron-fertilized Kerguelen region were investigated in early austral spring (October-November 2011) during the KEOPS2 cruise. The iron-fertilized region was characterized by a complex mesoscale circulation resulting in a patchy distribution of particulate matter. Integrated concentrations over 200 m ranged from 72.2 to 317.7 mg m(-2) for chlorophyll a 314 to 744 mmol m(-2) for biogenic silica (BSi), 1106 to 2268 mmol m(-2) for particulate organic carbon, 215 to 436 mmol m(-2) for particulate organic nitrogen, and 29.3 to 39.0 mmol m(-2) for particulate organic phosphorus. Three distinct high biomass areas were identified: the coastal waters of Kerguelen Islands, the easternmost... |
