Abstract

The magnitude of fluxes in the carbon cycle of subtropical and tropical marine habitats is determined by the supply of inorganic nutrients. These habitats have low sea-surface concentrations of nitrate (NO3-) and chlorophyll (dubbed LNLC regions), sustain relatively low rates of organic matter production and export, and represent global ocean minima in carbon sequestration potential. The low NO3- resupply should select for nitrogen (N-2)-fixing bacteria, termed diazotrophs, provided all other growth-limiting nutrients are available. Several recent field efforts have been aimed at enhancing N-2 fixation in LNLC regions through mesoscale fertilization with iron and phosphorus (or both) and we hypothesize herein that controlled upwelling of nutrient-enriched deep water may also be effective. Based on a quantitative assessment of the vertical distribution of N-O(3)-, phosphate (PO43-) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) at Station ALOHA (22 degrees 45' N, 158 degrees W), we hypothesize that the process of controlled upwelling of low NO3-:PO43- seawater may lead to enhanced N2 fixation, organic matter production and net carbon sequestration. Furthermore, based on a long-term (20 yr) data set from Station ALOHA, we predict that the upwelling of water from a depth of 300 to 350 m during summer months will trigger a 2-stage phytoplankton bloom. The first stage will be characterized by a NO3--supported Redfield ratio (e.g. C-106:N-16:P by atoms) diatom bloom. Following quantitative NO3- removal, the residual PO43- from the low N:P (<16:1) upwelled nutrient pulse will stimulate a N-2-fixing bacterial bloom, leading to net sequestration of carbon. However, any strategic benefit of controlled upwelling for enhancing the long-term carbon sequestration will depend on the spatial and temporal uncoupling of organic matter production and remineralization, which is ultimately controlled by the microbial response to these perturbations.
