Results
• 10x increase in Chl in both N and S patch• 10x increase in productivity (Popt) in both N and S patch• 3 to 4x increase in integrated primary productivity• 3 to 4x increase in quantum yield in South patch, but
no differential enhancement of quantum yield in large (> 20 μm) phytoplankton
• Big change in size composition in N patch despite low Si conditions, but only modest change in size composition in S patch with high Si conditions
• In patch POC flux about 30% of In patch PP integrated to 10% light level; Out flux about 40% of Out PP integrated to 10% light level

Remaining Questions
1. Depth of export
2. Fate of exported organic carbon at depth
3. Cellular mechanism of “fast” photosynthetic efficiency response to Fe
4. Nature of temperature vs. photosynthetic efficiency relationship
