GR On the other hand, what are the observed, natural effects of iron delivery to the ocean during/after dust storms, volcanic eruptions and glaciations? Would artificial OIF go beyond these effects?

".. it also says that Zooplankton cannot avoid consuming Cyanobacteria"
Bhaskar is right that it makes a huge difference to carbon cycle feedbacks whether diatoms, coccoliths, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria, or other algae are the beneficiaries of ocean fertilization or artificial upwelling, and that very small amounts of essential trace elements make the key difference.

Thanks Bhaskar!
Cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates are the major cause of toxic algae blooms, formerly very scarce, but now epidemic in coastal waters due to land-based sources of nutrients.
Two of my most recent projects are in fjords in Chilean Patagonia, where toxic algae blooms caused by salmon farm wastes have killed shellfish and 20 kilometers of the world’s only shallow cold water coral reefs, and in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, where toxic dinoflagellates caused by sewage have killed clams, oysters, seagrass, and the manatee that feed on them.
As a child in Jamaica I saw the coral reefs die when toxic algae blooms turned Kingston Harbour into the first dead zone whose formation was documented, by Jamaican marine biologist Barry Wade.
