Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb have been analysed in suspended matter and water samples from the Scheldt estuary, collected during five cruises between May 1982 and May 1983. In order to evaluate the overall metal behaviour in the estuary, continuous longitudinal profiles of the total, the particulate and the dissolved metal concentrations are discussed in relation to various specific physico-chemical parameters. By means of correlation and multi-regression techniques, several estuarine processes could be identified which dominate and/or control the behaviour of the individual trace metals in three distinct areas of the Scheldt estuary. The behaviour of the four selected metals was found to show some common features, but is besides this also characterised by many... |

Samples from the Scheldt estuary have been assayed for dissolved Cd, Cu and Zn using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, either as total (after UV irradiation) or labile concentrations. Under these experimental conditions, labile concentrations ranged between 51-65% of total Cu, 16-66% of total Zn and 53-91 % of total Cd. The metal-organic interactions were assessed by evaluating (a) the distribution coefficient K<sub>d</sub> for the distribution of the metals between the liquid phase (complexation) and their binding to particulate matter, and (b) the competitive effect exerted by inorganic complexing ligands using a multi-element interaction model. The proportion of organically bound metals (strong and labile) was estimated, in... |

Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb concentrations in both dissolved and particulate phase were assessed during 1995. Data Quality Assurance was an integral part of this study and involved all major steps of the analysis procedure such as sampling, sample handling, preconcentration and determination. Desorption and redox processes clearly control the dissolved Cu and Cd profiles. Mobilisation of dissolved Zn is small and essentially restricted to the low salinity area and the late spring survey. Dissolved Pb shows the clearest dilution pattern. The parameters representative of these processes (dissolved oxygen and salinity) also correlate very well with the particulate metal profiles. In addition, the plankton activity (expressed by the chlorophyll-<i>a</i>... |

A general description of the Scheldt estuary, including the hydrology, the sediment transport, the productivity and the biodegradation with respect to their influence on the trace metal behaviour in the Scheldt estuary, is given. The river basin can be divided in several sections according to their morphological, hydrodynamical and sedimentary properties. The zone from km 78 to 55, which corresponds roughly with the salinity zone from 2 to 10 psu, is the zone of high turbidity, high sedimentation and of oxygen depletion, especially in the summer period. That area is called the geochemical filter because the solid/dissolved distribution of the trace metals is controlled by redox, adsorption/desorption, complexation and precipitation/coprecipitation... |

Observations are presented for stable carbon isotope abundance (δ<sup>13</sup>C) and organic carbon and nitrogen content of suspended organic matter from the Southern Ocean (Circumpolar Current and Polar Front) during spring and early summer. The Polar Front Zone was characterized by elevated plankton biomasses and phytoplankton activity, which also increased significantly over the one-month investigation period. From the beginning of the phytoplankton bloom δ<sup>13</sup>C values of suspended organic matter in the Polar Front were high, exceeding values predicted from the relationship with CO<sub>2(aq)</sub> concentration observed in other areas of the Southern Ocean. Later in the season... |

Since the role of continental shelves and coastal areas in the global biochemical carbon are nowadays a leading concern in oceanographic research programmes, this study aims to define the specific effect of nutrients on the onset and development of the phytoplankton bloom at the ocean margins. Comparison experiments of the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus assimilation rates were carried out from 1989 to 1991 in the English Channel and the Gulf of Biscay. New production were obtained from the traditional approach using <i>f</i>-ratio values, i.e. the ratios of directly measured nitrate to carbon uptakes and/or the ratios of nitrate to nitrate plus ammonium uptakes. Values of <i>f</i> agree well on the shelf, slope and deep basin... |

Statistical properties in non-linear regression models of <i>f</i>-ratio versus nitrate relationships were investigated using a case study conducted at the European continental margin (Project OMEX). Although the OMEX data fit within the family of empirical models introduced by Platt and Harrison (1985) Nature 318, 55–58), it is shown that the discrepancy between experimental and fitted values is larger than expected, assuming that the data are accurate. Since the ambient ammonium concentration plays a leading role in regulating new production, the present analysis was extended to include explicitly the effect of ammonium on <i>f</i>-ratio versus nitrate plots. Experimental results based on controlled ammonium additions... |
