| The evolution of the phytoplankton distribution was monitored along the Calvi-Nice axis, from Calvi to 30 miles offshore, in relation with the hydrological features of the Liguro-Provencal front (Corsican sector) and nutrient availability. Oceanographic cruises repeated between 1982 and 1991 have emphasized the permanence of the front and the perennial stability of its hydrological characteristics. Moreover, the front and the associated vertical circulation influenced strongly, and in a reproducible fashion, the algal distribution within distances of few kilometres. In March, stabilization of the upper layers of the water column, induced by a beginning of vertical stratification, is the main factor controlling the onset of the phytoplancton bloom in the... |
