Buesseler, Ken O. (2012): Biogeochemistry: The great iron dump. In: Nature 487 (7407), S. 305–306.

The author discusses the EIFEX experiment. „The discovery that marine algal blooms deposit organic carbon to the deep ocean answers some — but not all — of the questions about whether fertilizing such blooms is a viable strategy for mitigating climate change“
