Description

Experimental Design

Experiments were conducted during the CORSACS (Controls On Ross Sea Algal Community Structure) expedition in January 2006 to the Ross Sea, Antarctica, onboard the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (cruise NBP-0601). Water was collected at 75.00S, 177.36E using a trace metal clean towed-intake surface water Teflon diaphragm pumping system (Bruland et al., 2005). Water was prescreened through acid-washed 200μm Nitex mesh to eliminate large zooplankton and collected into a 50-L mixing carboy. Collected water was gently mixed and dispensed into 12 4.5-L and 12 2.7-L acid washed trace metal clean clear polycarbonate bottles for incubation. Half of the bottles were spiked with 1.0nM FeCl3 (final concentration) at the beginning of the experiment. Bottles were incubated in two temperature controlled deck-board incubators (Feng et al., 2009; Hare et al., 2007). Incubators were screened to 18% of Io using two layers of neutral density filter. One incubator was kept at ambient temperature (0 deg C), while the temperature in the other was gradually increased to 4 deg C over the course of 24 h. Bottles were incubated for seven days. The 4.5-L bottles were sampled daily and the 2.7-L bottles were only sampled on the final day of the experiment. All sampling occurred under a laminar flow hood using trace metal clean techniques.

Methods & Sampling

Particulate nutrient Sampling:

Total particulate carbon and nitrogen samples (150–250 mL) were filtered at low vacuum onto GF/F filters that had been precombusted at 450oC for 2 h. Filters were then dried at 60oC. Samples were analyzed with a Finnigan Delta Plus mass spectrometer and a Carlo Erba NA1500 elemental analyzer/Conflo II. Elemental compositions were measured using the mass 44 beam intensity (V) on the Delta Plus and calibrated against the mass 44 beam intensity of at least five standards also analyzed during each run of 40 samples. Total particulate phosphorus samples (100–200 mL) were gently filtered onto precombusted GF/F filters and rinsed with 2 ml 0.12 mol L−1 Na2SO4. Filters were placed overnight in precombusted (450oC, overnight) 20mL borosilicate glass scintillation vials with 2mL 0.017 mol L−1 MnSO4. Vials were covered with aluminum foil, dried at 95oC and stored dessicated until analysis. Total particulate phosphorus content was determined as follows: vials and filters were combusted at 450oC for 2 h, cooled, and 5mL 0.2 mol L−1 HCl was added to each vial. Vials were capped and heated to 80oC for 30 min to digest particulate organic phosphorus into inorganic phosphate, and digested samples were analyzed using the standard molybdate colorimetric method (Solorzano and Sharp, 1980). Biogenic silica samples (100–250 mL) were gently filtered onto 0.6μm polycarbonate filters, dried at 60oC and stored at room temperature until analysis. Samples were analyzed according to Brzezinski and Nelson (1995).
