q |
The deep-ocean circulation in the Antarctica brings abundant
nutrients up
|
|
into the surface water, which is not fully utilized by
photosynthesis due
|
|
|
to the brief summer seasons.
|
|
|
q |
During glacial intervals in the Antarctic region, increased carbon
|
|
|
pumping out of surface water could occur either because
|
|
|
(1) nutrient-rich
waters remained at the surface longer, or
|
|
|
(2) higher glacial
nutrient levels stimulated more productivity.
