abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">It has been proposed that photosynthetic plankton can be used as a biological carbon pump to absorb and sequester carbon dioxide in the ocean. In this paper, plankton population dynamics
are simulated in a single stratified water column to predict carbon dioxide sequestering due to surface
iron fertilization in deep ocean. Using a predator-prey model and realistic parameter values,
iron fertilization was found to only cause temporary blooms up to 5 months in duration, and relatively
small increases in adsorption of atmospheric $\mathrm{CO_{2}}$.</p>},
