In-depth research has identified Zinc’s essential role in regulating the Southern Ocean’s impact on the global climate and marine ecosystem, linking its dynamics with broader environmental and climatic effects. Credit: SciTechDaily.com
The Southern Ocean plays the greatest role in global phytoplankton productivity, which is responsible for absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide. In these processes, Zinc, present in trace quantities in seawater, is an essential micronutrient critical to many biochemical processes in marine organisms particularly for polar phytoplankton blooms.

In the open ocean, the interplay between Zinc’s association or dissociation from particles is pivotal for replenishing dissolved Zinc to support marine life.
