在赤道太平洋的大片表层水域播撒低浓度的溶解铁，引发了大规模的浮游植物水华，消耗了大量的二氧化碳和硝酸盐，这些微小的植物在自然条件下无法充分利用这些物质。这些和其他观察结果明确地支持了这一假设，即该海洋区域的浮游植物生长受到铁生物有效性的限制。
The seeding of an expanse of surface waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean with low concentrations of dissolved iron triggered a massive phytoplankton bloom which consumed large quantities of carbon dioxide and nitrate that these microscopic plants cannot fully utilize under natural conditions. These and other observations provide unequivocal support for the hypothesis that phytoplankton growth in this oceanic region is limited by iron bioavailability.
