Abstract Subtropical gyres cover 26%–29% of the world's surface ocean and are
conventionally regarded as ocean deserts due to their permanent stratification, depleted …

Symptoms of eutrophication (including biodiversity loss, harmful algal blooms, and hypoxia)
are an increasing problem in Chinese seas. Nutrient enrichment is primarily caused by …

Abstract Atmospheric nitrate (NO3−) pollution has become an obstacle to efforts to further
reduce fine particulate (PM2. 5) concentration in North China. However, there have been …

Recent studies have identified aerosol nitrate (NO 3−) as one of the most important
inorganic ions; however, quantitative studies of aerosol NO 3− sources are rarely …

Abstract Nitrate (NO 3−) has become recognized as the most important water-soluble ion in
fine particulate (PM 2.5), and has been proposed as a driving factor for regional haze …

Atmospheric samples and surface seawater collected on a Chinese Antarctic Research
Expedition (CHINARE) transect are used to investigate sources and production of nitrate …

Anthropogenic emissions are recognized as significant contributors to atmospheric soluble
iron (Fe) in recent years, which may affect marine primary productivity, especially in Fe …

Abstract Nitrate (NO3−), one of the most important inorganic aerosols in the atmosphere, is
mainly formed by oxidation of NOx by the hydroxyl radical (OH) and ozone (O3) in urban …

Nitrate (particulate NO 3− and gas-phase HNO 3) are the primary acidic ions in the
atmosphere and play important roles in regional air pollution. However, quantification of the …

Haze particles as a key air pollutant contain high level of toxins, which were hypothesized to
inhibit phytoplankton growth when deposited to the ocean, and thus indirectly affect the …
