The present disclosure provides compositions including a carrier and an element. The carrier includes starch and the element is covalently bonded to the carrier. A water droplet contact angle of the composition is greater than a water droplet contact angle of starch under the same conditions and after the same elapsed time up to one hours. The compositions may be used as a coating, such as for a seed or fertilizer particle, or may be added to soil for delivery of the element in biologically available form to a plant.

PROCESS AND METHOD FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF SEQUESTERING ATMOSPHERIC CARBON THROUGH OCEAN IRON FERTILIZATION, AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING NET CARBON CAPTURE FROM SAID PROCESS AND METHOD
Disclosed is an enhancement of a carbon sequestration process and method for calculating the quantity of atmospheric carbon sequestration manifested by enhanced oceanic photosynthetic productivity through the process of Iron fertilization. This method and process comprises (1) defining a project boundary, (2) obtaining certain baseline measurements, metrics and observations within and beyond the project boundary, (3) applying an Iron compound within the project boundary to enhance photosynthesis, (4) obtaining certain measurements, metrics and observations within and adjacent to the project boundary prior to and after the introduction of Iron compound and last, (5) applying a method based on the measurements from steps 2 and 4 to determine the net quantity of atmospheric carbon that is sequestered.
Disclosed is a method and process for measuring oceanographic parameters that may be used to create estimates of the quantity of carbon dioxide gas that is removed from the atmosphere from an Ocean Iron Enrichment event. This process uses data observations from Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Satellite observations and/or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to determine metrics such as chlorophyll, temperature, turbidity, oxygen, particulate inorganic carbon etc. that may be used to calculate the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide that is removed from the atmosphere. Therefore, the carbon dioxide removal may be determined without requiring a manned presence in the area of study, providing a significant reduction in cost. Direct in-situ measurements of carbon flux through analysis of physical samples through the water column may be used as a verification/calibration metric using sediment traps spaced vertically in the water column from surface to the deep thermocline layer. Alternatively, water samples may be collected and used as an alternative.
Disclosed is a method and process for manifesting sustainable improvement in fisheries productivity in Ocean waters. This method and process comprises (1) selecting a location of the Ocean that is considered both High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) and (2) that this location is within proximity to fisheries feeding grounds or migratory routes or within areas that are considered to be fish feeding areas (3) within this location, a surface sea height anomaly (Ocean Eddy) is defined using satellite s.s.h. data (4) applying a fertilizer that contains an Iron compound within the Ocean Eddy.
