  abstract = {{I}ron limits phytoplankton growth and hence the biological carbon pump in the {S}outhern {O}cean(1). {M}odels assessing the impacts of iron on the global carbon cycle generally rely on dust input and sediment resuspension as the predominant sources(2,3). {A}lthough it was previously thought that most iron from deep-ocean hydrothermal activity was inaccessible to phytoplankton because of the formation of particulates(4), it has been suggested that iron from hydrothermal activity(5-7) may be an important source of oceanic dissolved iron(8-13). {H}ere we use a global ocean model to assess the impacts of an annual dissolved iron flux of approximately 9 x 10(8) mol, as estimated from regional observations of hydrothermal activity(11,12), on the dissolved iron inventory of the world's oceans. {W}e find the response to the input of hydrothermal dissolved iron is greatest in the {S}outhern {H}emisphere oceans. {I}n particular, observations of the distribution of dissolved iron in the {S}outhern {O}cean(3) ({C}hever et al., manuscript in preparation; {B}owie et al., manuscript in preparation) can be replicated in our simulations only when our estimated iron flux from hydrothermal sources is included. {A}s the hydrothermal flux of iron is relatively constant over millennial timescales(14), we propose that hydrothermal activity can buffer the oceanic dissolved iron inventory against shorter-term fluctuations in dust deposition.},
