IRON SEEDED PHYTOPLANKTON BLOOMS “contain iron-eating microscopic phytoplankton that absorb CO2 from the air through the process of photosynthesis and provide nutrients for marine life. But one type of phytoplankton, a diatom, is using more iron that it needs for photosynthesis and storing the extra in its silica skeletons and shells … This reduces the amount of iron left over to support the carbon-eating plankton.””
