1 Macronutrients in the ocean Philip Boyd NIWA/OTAGO, New Zealand September 2011 OUTLINE What is a macronutrient? Trends in nutrients & limitation The N cycle sources, sinks and recycling Silicate the body builder Stoichiometry - The N and P cycles Climate change & macronutrients
2 What is a macronutrient? An element, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen, required in large proportion for the normal growth and development of a plant What are they required for? The synthesis of macromolecules such as lipids, proteins and carbohydrates NOAA 1994, Levitus Joseph Wright
3 THE ELEMENTS OF MICROBIAL LIFE Component Composition Nucleus (DNA) C-N-P Ribosome (RNA) C-N-P Membranes C-P Cell wall Proteins/enzyme s/ flagellum Storage bodies: PHB Poly-P C-N C-N C P The elements required for each macromolecular group are defined by the structure of the molecule, e.g. nucleotides comprise a phosphate group, a carbohydrate molecule and a N-containing base

9 Nutrient limitation patterns - Diatoms (Moore et al., 2004).
10 Nutrient limitation patterns N fixers
11 The Biogeochemical cycle of N in the ocean Lipschultz et al. (2000)
12 N 2 FIXATION Discovered in late 19 th century in soil bacteria H. B. Bigelow (1931): The possibility that so-called N 2 fixers may also fertilize seawater must be taken into account Dugdale discovered N 2 fixation in Sargasso Sea in 1961 Process was considered to be negligible in the 1980 s, but significant since JGOFS
13 Boyd & Hurd (2009)
14 N 2 FIXATION AT STATION ALOHA ( ) N 2 accounts for 47±9% of new N Large interannual variations: 36% in 1993 vs. 69% in 1999 Relative importance of N 2 vs. NO 3 - as a source of new N has increased since 1995 Karl et al. (2002)
15 Sinks for N Seasonal trends in nutrient profiles NO3 (µmol L -1 ) Depth (m) winter 2004 spring 2005 summer 2005 autumn Boyd & Hurd (2009) Boyd & Hurd Figure 6
16 N preferences at HOT - SPSG Prochlorococcus prefers NH 4+ /DON but some phylotypes can use NO 2 - Eukaryotic phototrophs use NO 3 - and possibly DON, and compete with all others for NH 4 + Heterotrophic bacteria may prefer NH 4+ /DON but can also use NO 3 - /NO 2 - Diazotrophs use N 2
17 THE FOODWEB AND NITROGEN CYCLING f ratio = (new N/(new N + regenerated N))

24 Why such a difference in These nutrient profiles?

28 Architecture and material properties of diatom shells provide effective mechanical protection Frustules are remarkably strong by virtue of their architecture and the material properties of the diatom silica Hamm et al. (Nature 421, ) The evolutionary arms race between diatoms and their specialized predators will have had considerable influence in structuring pelagic food webs and biogeochemical cycles
29 Broken diatom frustules are indicators of mortality Fragilariopsis kerguelensis Discoid diatoms Courtesy V. Smetacek (AWI)

33 Insights into diatom blooms in the geological past are obtained from sediment cores Marked increases in productivity & rapid settling of biogenic matter are suggested in cores by the episodic accumulation of diatomaceous oozes up to 1 m thick!

35 Nutrient Stoichiometry - The N and P cycles Stoichiometry refers to patterns of mass balance in chemical conversions of different types of matter, which often have definite compositions. Sterner and Elser (2002)
36 Further definitions Sterner & Elser (2002) Ecological stoichiometry--the balance of multiple chemical substances in ecological interactions and processes. Elemental imbalance--dissimilarity in nutrient content between two things, such as between an autotroph and the inorganic medium. If a consumer and resource have identical stoichiometry, they are perfectly balanced. The greater they differ, the more their imbalance.

38 REDFIELD STOICHIOMETRY OF LIFE C 106 :N 16 :P 1 Carbon Nitrogen Phosphorus Initially thought to be the imprint of the synthesis of macromolecules including lipids, proteins and carbohydrates

41 R. Geider and J. La Roche (2002) Redfield revisited: variability of C:N:P in marine microalgae and its biochemical basis Eur. J. Phycol. 37: 1-17 C:N:P is plastic, not fixed N P limitation transition much higher than 16:1 General conclusion: Our analysis suggests caution in application of the Redfield Ratio in theoretical biogeochemical analyses and as a conversion factor in field studies.
42 Klausmeier et al. (2004)
43 Their results show that the canonical Redfield N:P ratio of 16 is not a universal biochemical optimum, but instead represents an average of species-specific N:P ratios. Klausmeier et al. (2004)
44 N:P ratios and physiological strategies Arrigo (2005)
45 Experimental Variation of the C:N:P Ratios (by Atoms) in Cultures of the Freshwater Alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa (Ketchum and Redfield, 1949) Conditions C N P Normal cells Phosphorus deficient cells Nitrogen deficient cells Elemental imbalance--dissimilarity in nutrient content between an autotroph and the inorganic medium.
46 N:P differences are evident within the biogeochemical cycles Arrigo (2005)
47 Using the Redfield ratio perspective i.e. P* Basin-scale differences North Atlantic P* < 0, P limited South Atlantic P* > 0, N limited Moore et al. 2008
48 Are changes in P* due to N fixation or N:P uptake of other phytoplankton?

56 What is needed Surveys e.g. AMT
57 And new modelling approaches Follows (2007)
58 Conclusions Macronutrients play a key role in setting the productivity of the oceans Their biogeochemical cycles are tightly interlinked via stoichiometry yet they are also flexible Other factors such as trace element supply and climate-mediated changes can subtly alter these links Climate change will impact the biogeochemistry of macronutrients in a complex manner
