Oceanographers have analyzed data from an iron-fertilization experiment in the Southern Ocean. Unfortunately most of the carbon from lush plankton blooms, both artificially fertilized and natural, never reached the deep ocean. The Iron Hypothesis isn't wrong, but it's much more subtle than usually stated, according to researchers.
