Recent research has revealed that trace metals, particularly transition metals, play important roles in marine productivity. Most of the work has been on iron, which shows a nutrient-depleted profile in the upper ocean. Marine organisms have a variety of means for acquiring iron and other transition metal ions that differ from those of terrestrial organisms.
最近的研究表明，微量金属，特别是过渡金属，在海洋生产力中发挥着重要作用。大部分研究工作集中在铁元素上，铁元素在海洋上层呈现出营养耗尽的分布特征。海洋生物获取铁和其他过渡金属离子的方式多种多样，这与陆地生物不同。
