Short summary
The composition of particulate Fe (pFe) influences the fate of Fe in the upper ocean. Using Fe uptake experiments and living biomass estimates, we show that over half of chemically labile pFe in the surface ocean is stored in living cells. The rest appears to be driven by contributions from dust, detritus, and/or in situ mineral precipitation onto dust particles. The large biotic component here compared to the North Atlantic supports previously reported high biotic Fe recycling at Station ALOHA.
