OCEANIC IRON SEEDING has been the subject of recent scientific studies to test the Martin Iron Hypothesis, namely that phytoplankton blooms will be stimulated. The wide genetic and metabolic heterogeneity of phytoplankton and their attendant viral populations are too complex to predict a dominant bloom species. ”
“Given the enormity of the unknowns in phytoplankton and virus interactions, and the ecological web of life that spans from this, it perhaps seems at best optimistic to believe that iron seeding will help global warming. ”
