PY - 2006 DA - 2006/06/01 TI - The Southern Ocean biogeochemical divide JO - Nature SP - 964 EP - 967 VL - 441 IS - 7096 AB - The Southern Ocean has central roles in carbon dioxide exchange between the oceans and the atmosphere, and in nutrient supply to the rest of the world's oceans — but these are physically separated due to the nature of ocean circulation, creating a biogeochemical divide. The area south of the divide has the most important influence on carbon dioxide exchange with the atmosphere; while the area to the north has the most significant effect on global oceanic productivity.
