The Oxygen You’re Breathing May Depend on Iron Dust Falling Into the Ocean

Rutgers University marine scientists are using New Jersey-developed tools to measure how iron shortages in Southern Ocean phytoplankton reduce photosynthetic efficiency and slow the conversion of light into oxygen. With your next breath, remember that the ocean helps make it possible. Tiny algae carry out photosynthesis, and in many regions that work depends on iron-rich […]Biology,Climate Change,Marine Biology,Oceanography,Photosynthesis,Rutgers University#Oxygen #Youre #Breathing #Depend #Iron #Dust #Falling #Ocean1767794495
