Why is the Eastern Mediterranean phosphorus limited?
The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is a relatively small ocean basin with an unusually
high nitrate to phosphate ratio in the deep waters (∼ 28: 1). As a consequence, the typical …

On the impact of the Bimodal Oscillating System (BiOS) on the biogeochemistry and biology of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas (Eastern Mediterranean)
Analysis of 20-year time-series of the vertically averaged salinity and nutrient data in the
Southern Adriatic shows that the two parameters are subject to strong decadal variability. In …
