Record Title : Iron Limitation of Diatoms
CF Standard Name : iron_growth_limitation_of_diatoms
Units of Measure : 1
Record Description : Diatoms are phytoplankton with an external skeleton made of silica. Phytoplankton are algae that grow where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. "Iron growth limitation" means the ratio of the growth rate of a species population in the environment (where there is a finite availability of iron) to the theoretical growth rate if there were no such limit on iron availability.
