of Southern Ocean phytoplankton to global change, in particular to ocean acidification. The availability of trace metals and light are considered key factors in controlling Southern Ocean phytoplankton [...] Polarstern expedition ANT XXVII-2. Picture: S. Trimborn (Photo: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) Southern Ocean phytoplankton are major drivers of global carbon cycling accounting for 20% of the global annual primary [...] information is available on how these environmental factors (trace metals, CO2, light) affect Southern Ocean phytoplankton. In particular research on interactive effects of these factors is still missing. The
