英文摘要 | The subarctic Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea comprise the second-largest high nitrate, low chlorophyll region in the world, where primary production is limited by the availability of iron (Fe). To estimate the potential impact of different terrestrial aerosol Fe sources on marine ecosystems, we performed a suite of laboratory assessments following established protocols, including: (1) leaching with Milli-Q water, (2) sequential extractions, (3) complete acid digestions, (4) X-ray diffraction, and (5) grain size analysis. Measurements were performed on 20 fine-grained (<5 mu m) glacier-derived sediments from Alaska and the Yukon, two fresh, never-wetted volcanic ashes (Redoubt 2009 and Pavlof 2016), and six weathered ashes (Redoubt and Augustine) which span the past similar to 8,700 years. We compared results to published data on Asian desert-derived sediments, finding that the glacier-derived sediments have five times higher easily reducible Fe (median 2.3 +/- 0.6 wt.%) than desert-derived samples (0.49 +/- 0.1 wt.%) and fourteen times higher easily reducible Fe than fresh ash (0.16 +/- 0.1 wt.%). In addition, fractional Fe solubility was higher in glacial sediment (median cumulative 0.31 +/- 0.11% Fe-S) than volcanic ash (0.04 +/- 0.02% Fe-S). Glacial sediments contained higher concentrations of other bioactive metals including Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, and Pb. Results suggest that glacier-derived dust may provide the subarctic Pacific with more bioavailable iron per unit mass than either volcanic ash or Asian desert-derived dust. |
