| Seasonal variations in nutrient inputs are described for the main rivers (Loire and Vilaine) flowing into the northern Bay of Biscay. The river plumes are high in N/P ratio in late winter and spring, but not in the inner plume during the summer. Conservative behavior results in most nutrients entering the estuary and eventually reaching the coastal zone. Temporal and spatial aspects of phytoplankton growth and nutrient uptake in the northern Bay of Biscay distinguish the central area of salinity 34 from the plume area. The first diatom bloom appears offshore in late winter, at the edge of the river plumes, taking advantage of haline stratification and anticyclonic "weather windows." In spring, when the central area of the northern shelf is... |

| Primary production (PP) and, nitrate (QNO(3)) and ammonium (QNH(4)) uptakes were measured together with other environmental parameters from October 1999 to February 2001 in the Gulf of Trieste (N Adriatic Sea). Their trends showed a high variability because of the combined effects of meteorological conditions, water circulation and river discharges. PP ranged from 0.2 to 1.5.9 mumol C dm(-3) d(-1), whereas QNO(3) varied from 0.8 to 442 nmol N dm(-3) d(-1), showing a trend similar to that of carbon basically ascribable to the autotrophic activity. QNH(4) ranged from 20 to 1308 nmol N dm-3 d-' and it reached the highest values during the declining phases of phytoplankton blooms, indicating that bacterial community can also be involved in its uptake.... |
