Nutrient Sources for Primary Production
The fluxed of organic carbon must be sustained by an adeguate flux of macronutrients
If macronutrients are unavailable then the CO2 flux is reduced!
What are the controls on Export Production?

2) Utilization of nutrients in HNLC
3) Change Redfield Ratio

Nitrogen appears to be the control duringmodern time.
(but was not always this way e.g. duringlat glacial maxima)
