Record Label : limfepico
Record Title : Iron Limitation of Picophytoplankton
CF Standard Name : iron_growth_limitation_of_picophytoplankton
Units of Measure : 1
Record Description : Picophytoplankton are phytoplankton of less than 2 micrometers in size. 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.
