Abstract:Iron (Fe) is a crucial trace element in marine ecosystems, playing a vital role in regulating marine primary productivity and driving marine biogeochemical cycling processes. However, understanding seasonal iron variations and the response of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) to coastal waters remains limited. The aim of this study was to find out about the spatial and seasonal variations in iron concentrations and their impact on chlorophyll-a levels in Zhanjiang Bay. We conducted seasonal monitoring of surface seawater … Show more
