If the environment is not suitable for sustaining phyto populations, then no degree of fertilization will help. Seems to sustain phytoplankton populations just fine when there is sufficient Iron naturally delivered via airborne erosion, and/or volcanic eruptions. See what happened after Mt. Pinatubo erupted.. See what happened after Mt. Kasatochi erupted. In each instance HUGE phytoplankton blooms were created. So apparently there was every type of nutrient available for them to grow, EXCEPT sufficient Iron. And because Iron is heavier than water, it eventually descends to the ocean bottom if not consumed.. Which means it has to be replaced.. So.. you claim that because the environment is "not suitable" for phytoplankton, does that also apply to the rest of our terrestrial agricultural sector? Your lawn? If the environment can't sustain their growth, we shouldn't use fertilizer, whether Organic or chemical? Why not just use that argument for why we should never attempt to save endangered species? And since the environment is not suitable for your survival in wintertime, is it wrong for you to build suitable shelter?? If you can't see how obviously inane your response is, you really have some serious cognitive dysfunction.. But more likely, the dogmatic nature of your response merely indicates how little you have left to argue with.. You're scraping the bottom of your intellectual barrel.. Hawk
