Equatorial upwelling of phosphorus drives Atlantic N2 fixation and Sargassum blooms - Nature Geoscience
High near-surface nitrogen-fixation rates that promoted the recent growth of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt were tied to greater upwelling of phosphorus from the equatorial Atlantic, according to c...

The driver of Sargassum blooms in the Atlantic Ocean:
Upwelling of phosphorus-rich deep water promotes an N-fixing symbiont of the Sargassum algae giving it a competitive advantage.

Thanks to everyone who joined our Meeting & Status Seminar 2025 - It was such a mix of minds and experiences. It was not just about presentations - It was about connecting ideas, perspectives, and people. Events like this remind us why we do research: To explore, to question, and to grow - Together
