  abstract = {{I}n oligotrophic gyres of the tropical ocean, islands can enhance phytoplankton biomass and create hotspots of productivity and biodiversity. {T}his "island mass effect" ({IME}) is typically identified by increased chlorophyll concentrations next to an island. {H}ere we use a simple plankton model in a {L}agrangian framework to represent an unexplained open ocean bloom, demonstrating how islands could have triggered it remotely. {T}his new type of {IME}, termed "delayed {IME}," occurs when nitrate is limiting, {N}:{P} ratios are low, and excess phosphate and iron remain in water masses after an initial bloom associated with a "classical" {IME}. {N}itrogen fixers then slowly utilize leftover phosphate and iron while water masses get advected away, resulting in a bloom decoupled in time (several weeks) and space (hundreds of kilometers) from island-driven nutrient supply. {T}his study suggests that the fertilizing effect of islands on phytoplankton may have been largely underestimated.},
