Plankton succession and carbon cycling at 47°N 20°W during the JGOFS North Atlantic Bloom Experiment
TL;DR: An overview of the multinational investigations carried out at 47°N 20°W for the period 24 April-31 May, with the main emphasis on the succession of plankton communities and the flux of organic carbon through various plankton components is given in this paper.

Different reactions of Southern Ocean phytoplankton size classes to iron fertilization.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the demise of the iron-induced phytoplankton bloom is caused by a shift in composition of taxonomic groups, rather than the other way around, as previously suggested.

Evidence of nitrogen fixation by non-heterocystous cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea and re-calculation of a budget of nitrogen fixation
TL;DR: Nitrogen fixation rates and related plankton parameters were determined at 8 stations in the Baltic proper and Mecklenburg Bay in 1997 and 1998 and it is discussed whether this may be due to small, non-heterocystous cyanobacteria, which were abundant in summer and autumn.
Iron limits primary productivity during spring bloom development in the central North Atlantic

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present in situ biophysical measurements and bioassay experiments that demonstrate iron limitation of primary productivity during the spring bloom in the central North Atlantic, and they conclude that the episodic nature of iron supplied by dust deposition is an important factor controlling the dynamics of the Spring Bloom.
