The geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, its hydrography and connection with the
Atlantic Ocean have been well documented. Despite a wealth of historical and …

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is a relatively small ocean basin with an unusually
high nitrate to phosphate ratio in the deep waters (∼ 28: 1). As a consequence, the typical …

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for all marine microorganisms. Dissolved organic
phosphorus (DOP) is an integral, dynamic part of the marine organic matter pool and of the …

Over much of the world's surface oceans, nitrate and phosphate concentrations are below
the limit of detection (LOD) of conventional techniques of analysis. However, these nutrients …

This paper provides an extensive vertical and longitudinal description of the
biogeochemistry along an East-West transect of 3000 km across the Mediterranean Sea …

The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed sea characterized by high salinities,
temperatures and densities. The net evaporation exceeds the precipitation, driving an anti …

We present an analysis of the spatial distributions and seasonal dynamics of phosphate and
nitrate in the Mediterranean Sea. The analysis involves observations under present …

Atmospheric deposition of Total Dissolved Nitrogen (TDN) and Phosphorus (TDP) was
studied in bulk deposition samples simultaneously collected at several locations around the …

An on-board microcosm experiment was performed during the CYCLOPS May 2002 cruise
to track the biogeochemical response of Eastern Mediterranean surface seawater to a …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a semienclosed basin connected with the open sea
mainly through the Strait of Gibraltar. Due to the circulation pattern and the long residence …
