Above the kerguelen plateau the interannual variability of Net community Production (NCP) and air-sea CO2 flux
was < 15 %

Low silicic acid concentrations limit diatom growth at the end of the bloom.

Summary :
In naturally iron fertilized regions the amount of chlorophyll that accumulates in the mixed layer is controlled by self-shading
Considering self shading control, chlorophyll in the mixed layer could be higher and therefore theCO2 sink could be deeper.
Possible :
If silicic acid supply increases
If Si/C of diatoms decreases
