Urea distribution and uptake in the Atlantic Ocean between 50° N and 50°S

Urea distribution and uptake in the Atlantic Ocean between 50° N and 50°S

We investigate the distribution of urea and its uptake by phytoplankton during 3 meridional transects of the Atlantic Ocean between 50°N and 50° S. Significant relationships were identified between urea uptake andProchlorococcusabundance (p < 0.01) in the northern subtropical Atlantic, whereProch...

Zusammenfassung:We investigate the distribution of urea and its uptake by phytoplankton during 3 meridional transects of the Atlantic Ocean between 50°N and 50° S. Significant relationships were identified between urea uptake andProchlorococcusabundance (p < 0.01) in the northern subtropical Atlantic, whereProchlorococcusappears likely to dominate urea uptake, and between urea concentration and the
