2012: Current study in the scientific journal Nature: researchers publish
results of an iron fertilisation experiment
Bremerhaven,

ocean iron fertilization experiment (EIFEX) carried out in 2004 in the current
issue of the scientific journal Nature. Unlike the LOHAFEX experiment carried
out in 2009, EIFEX has shown that a substantial proportion of carbon from the

thoroughly analysed before being published now, provide a valuable contribution
to our better understanding of the global carbon cycle.
