nutrients is hampered by limited in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of reference gene catalogs for key taxa. {I}ron is a key driver of plankton dynamics and, therefore, of global biogeochemical cycles and climate. {T}o assess the impact of iron availability on plankton communities, we explored the comprehensive bio-oceanographic and bio-omics data sets from {T}ara {O}ceans in the context of the iron products from two state-of-the-art global scale biogeochemical models. {W}e obtained novel information about adaptation and acclimation toward iron in a range of phytoplankton, including picocyanobacteria and diatoms, and identified whole subcommunities covarying with iron. {M}any of the observed global patterns were recapitulated in the {M}arquesas archipelago, where frequent plankton blooms are believed to be caused by natural iron fertilization, although they are not captured in large-scale biogeochemical models. {T}his work provides a proof of concept that integrative analyses, spanning from genes to ecosystems and viruses to zooplankton, can disentangle the complexity of plankton communities and can lead to more accurate formulations of resource bioavailability in biogeochemical models, thus improving our understanding of plankton resilience in a changing environment. {P}lain {L}anguage {S}ummary {M}arine phytoplankton require iron for their growth and proliferation. {A}ccording to {J}ohn {M}artin's iron hypothesis, fertilizing the ocean with iron could dramatically increase photosynthetic activity, thus representing a biological means to counteract global warming. {H}owever, while there is a constantly growing knowledge of how iron is distributed in the ocean and about its role in cellular processes in marine photosynthetic groups such as diatoms and cyanobacteria, less is known about how iron availability shapes plankton communities and how they respond to it. {I}n the present work, we exploited recently published {T}ara {O}ceans data sets to address these questions. {W}e first defined specific subcommunities of co-occurring organisms that co-vary with iron availability in the oceans. {W}e then identified specific patterns of adaptation and acclimation to iron in different groups of phytoplankton. {F}inally, we validated our global results at local scale, specifically in the {M}arquesas archipelago, where recurrent phytoplankton blooms arc believed to be a result of iron fertilization. {B}y integrating global data with a localized response, we provide a framework for understanding the resilience of plankton ecosystems in a changing environment.}, keywords = {{MEDITERRANEE} ; {ATLANTIQUE} ; {PACIFIQUE} ; {OCEAN} {INDIEN} ; {OCEAN} {AUSTRAL}}, booktitle = {},
