Schematic of the different marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) methods discussed in this study. Pink shading indicates possible reduction in dissolved oxygen resulting from the respective open-ocean biotic mCDR activity via enhanced respiration in the water column, green shading for iron fertilization and artificial upwelling indicates fertilization-induced enhanced photosynthesis in the surface waters. Inserts indicate the mCDR-induced additional O2 production (green) and O2 consumption (white). Credit: Environmental Research Letters (2025).
