Article Synopsis
- Atmospheric iron inputs are believed to influence ocean biogeochemistry, with desert dust contributing about 95% and combustion sources the remaining 5% to the global iron cycle.
- Human activities may significantly alter desert dust contributions, potentially affecting up to 50% of the natural input.
- The sources and speciation of bioavailable iron remain poorly understood, suggesting that human impacts on both iron and bioavailable iron deposition to oceans could be significant, though uncertainties persist.
