Short summary
We construct a model of the ocean's coupled phosphorus, silicon, and iron cycles and optimize its biogeochemical parameters. State estimates for widely differing iron sources are consistent with observations because of compensation between sources and sinks. Export production and the patterns of export supported by each iron source type (aeolian, sedimentary, hydrothermal) are well constrained. The fraction of export supported by each iron type varies systematically with its fractional source.
