Atmospheric dust supply of micronutrients to the Southern Ocean is an important regulator of phytoplankton productivity, impacting the global carbon cycle. Understanding how phytoplankton respond to changes in dust supply has become increasingly important, with supply predicted to alter with future climate change. We show that Patagonian dusts, which differ in characteristics by source region, can supply different amounts of the essential micronutrients iron and manganese to the Southern Ocean and subsequently drive different responses in the resident phytoplankton. Changes in dust supply, including shifts in source regions, could therefore be an important factor controlling phytoplankton productivity in the past and future Southern Ocean. The seasonal availability of light and micronutrients strongly regulates productivity in the Southern Ocean, restricting biological utilization of macronutrients and CO2 drawdown. Mineral dust flux is a key conduit for micronutrients to the Southern Ocean and a critical mediator of multimillennial-scale atmospheric CO2 oscillations. While the role of dust-borne iron (Fe) in Southern Ocean biogeochemistry has been examined in detail, manganese (Mn) availability is also emerging as a potential driver of past, present, and future Southern Ocean biogeochemistry. Here, we present results from fifteen bioassay experiments along a north–south transect in the undersampled eastern Pacific sub-Antarctic zone. In addition to widespread Fe limitation of phytoplankton photochemical efficiency, we found further responses following the addition of Mn at our southerly stations, supporting the importance of Fe–Mn co-limitation in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, addition of different Patagonian dusts resulted in enhanced photochemical efficiency with differential responses linked to source region dust characteristics in terms of relative Fe/Mn solubility. Changes in the relative magnitude of dust deposition, combined with source region mineralogy, could hence determine whether Fe or Mn limitation control Southern Ocean productivity under future as well as past climate states.
