Atlantic forcing of the Mediterranean oligotrophy
26 The Mediterranean Sea shows a peculiar anomaly in its nutrient pattern compared to the 27 global ocean, as there is decrease in nutrient concentration from west to east. This 28 feature has been attributed to the anti-estuarine circulation at the Strait of Gibraltar, 29 where an eastward flow of Atlantic nutrient-poor surface waters is compensated by a 30 westward counter-current of Mediterr...
متن کاملOligotrophy and nitrogen fixation during eastern mediterranean sapropel events
Nitrogen isotopic measurements in fossil chlorophyll from late Pleistocene organic-rich sediments (sapropels) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea provide geochemical evidence for stratified, nutrient-depleted surface water and extensive nitrogen fixation. This evidence is reconciled with previous indications of high productivity by invoking a model of sapropel formation in which increased river di...
متن کاملPrecessional forcing of nutricline dynamics in the equatorial atlantic.
Climate control of nutricline depth in the equatorial Atlantic can be monitored by variations in the abundance of the phytoplankton species Florisphaera profunda. A conceptual model, based on in situ evidence, associates high abundances of F. profunda with a deep nutricline and low abundances with a shallow nutricline. A 200,000-year record of F. profunda relative abundances, obtained from a de...

متن کاملFishery Management: Contrasts in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic
Two recent papers point to differing trends in the status of fish stocks in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fisheries of Europe. We discuss the possible reasons for these contrasting trends in relation to the history, ecosystems, fisheries and management in the two regions.
