Unveiling the Si cycle using isotopes in an iron-fertilized zone of the Southern Ocean: from mixed-layer supply to export

A massive diatom bloom forms annually in the surface waters of the naturally iron-fertilized Kerguelen Plateau (Southern Ocean). In this study, silicon isotopic signatures (<i>δ</i><sup>30</sup>Si) of silicic acid (DSi) and suspended biogenic silica (BSi) were investigated th...
