Ocean warming alleviates iron limitation of marine nitrogen fixation, Published online: 16 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41558-018-0216-8
The growth of nitrogen-fixing marine cyanobacteria Trichodesmium is limited by iron availability under current conditions. However warmer temperatures reduce the iron requirement, allowing greater growth rates and increased nitrogen fixation.
