Ocean iron fertilization (OIF) and artificial ocean alkalinization (AOA) are two proposed ocean-based carbon dioxide removal methods to mitigate the effects of anthropogenic climate change. In this study, the authors use an Earth system model of intermediate complexity to compare the effects of OIF and AOA on the ocean carbon cycle and ocean biogeochemistry under the RCP8.5 high-emission scenario. In these simulations, both OIF and AOA are applied uniformly over the global ocean.
