We examined the vertical and temporal dynamics of nutrients, ectoenzymatic activities under late summer-fall transition period (September–October 2004) in NW Mediterranean Sea in relation to temporal change in factors limiting bacterial production. The depth of the mixed layer (12.8±5.3m) was extremely stable until the onset of the destratification period after 11 October, creating a zone where diffusion of nutrient from the much deeper phosphacline (69±12 m) and nitracline (50±8 m) was probably strongly limited. However during the second half of the cruise, a shallowing of nutriclines occured, particularly marked for nitracline. Hence, the nitrate to phosphate ratio within the mixed layer, although submitted to a high short term variability, shifted the... |
