What is “SEEDS”?What is “SEEDS”?
Mesoscale iron fertilization experiments in the world
SEEDS (Subarctic pacific iron Experiment for Ecosystem Dynamics Study)is an iron fertilization experiment in the western North Pacific.
The general result of SEEDS-I was reported by Tsuda et al., 2003 in Science, and details were summarized in the SEEDS special issue (2005) in Prog. Oceanogr.

Observed feature of SEEDS-IObserved feature of SEEDS-I(From Tsuda et al., 2003)
Time lag
The time lag between iron-fertilization and start of bloom was observed. The reason of this time lag was initially considered as the delay of diatom’s physiological response.
During observation period, a lot of particulate organic carbon (POC)was suspended in the surface water and was not exported to deeper layers.
The time lag and the fate of POC were demonstratedby ecosystem model “NEMURO for SEEDS”.

An ecosystem model “NEMURO”
NEMURO (3N-2P-3Z-3D) coupled with carbon-calcium cycle (Yamanaka et al., 2004)
A lower trophic level ecosystem model “NEMURO (North pacific Ecosystem Model Used for Regional Oceanography)” was developed by MODEL task team of PICES (North Pacific Marine Science Organization) focusing on linkage between lower and higher trophic levels. Around 30 papers were published and submitted.
NEMURO do not explicitly include iron cycles, because NEMURO originally focuses on ecosystem dynamics.

Simulation of SEEDS-I by Simulation of SEEDS-I by NEMURONEMURO
(Yoshie (Yoshie et alet al., 2005)., 2005)
In addition to the iron cycle built into ecosystem model, we had to change in ecosystem dynamics for simulating SEEDS-I.
That is, we divided diatom into two groups: sensitive and insensitive to iron fertilization, in NEMURO.

Total potential averaged by two diatoms hardly changes from day 0 to 4, because contribution of centric to total biomass is negligibly small.
Why SEEDS has the time lag?Why SEEDS has the time lag?
Increasing the biomass of centric diatom takes several days.

SummarySummary
Why SEEDS had the time lag between iron-fertilization and starting bloom?BecauseBecause the time lag was caused the time lag was caused not by the delay of physiological not by the delay of physiological response of diatom (at least SEEDS-I)response of diatom (at least SEEDS-I),,but but by the delay of increment of high-potential diatomby the delay of increment of high-potential diatom..
