| We estimated pelagic primary production (PP) in the coastal (< 200 m depth) Mediterranean Sea from satellite-borne data, its contribution to basin-scale carbon fixation, its variability and long-term trends during the period 2002–2016. Annual coastal PP was estimated at 0.041 Gt C, which approximately represents 12 % of total carbon fixation in the Mediterranean Sea. About 50 % of this production occurs in the eastern basin, whereas the western and Adriatic shelves contribute with 25 % each of total coastal production. Strong regional variability is revealed, from high-production areas (> 300 g C m−2) associated with major river discharges, to less productive provinces (< 50 g C m−2) located in the southeastern Mediterranean. PP variability in the... |
