B - unitless maximum scaling factor of scavenging dependent on sinking particle flux. C - threshold value below which iron scavenging rates are progressively decreased. D - scaling factor for standing stock of particulate organic carbon used in Fe scavenging. E - half saturation value for iron uptake by the diatoms. F - initial slope of P vs. I curve, lower value for diazotrophs. G - remineralization length scale for soft particulate organic matter. H - remineralization length scale for soft biogenic silica. I - fraction of bSi resistant to dissolution within water column. J - remineralization length scale increased under low O2 conditions based on Van Mooy et al., 2002.
