Not all models are created equal: assessing parameterisations of iron dynamics in ocean biogeochemical models
… included as a variable in ocean biogeochemical models. In representing the iron cycle, biogeochemical models must parameterise the major processes of uptake by phytoplankton, remineralisation and scavenging. However, there is no generally accepted set of equations to represent iron dynamics and …
