The present review constitutes an updated and integrated assessment of phytoplankton
spatiotemporal dynamics in the Aegean Sea, based on data compiled from numerous …

In this study, we provide baseline data on the composition, major sources and mechanisms
driving the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) mixtures in surficial …

Samples for dissolved trace metal concentrations were collected during GEOTRACES
expedition GA04-N in summer/spring in the Mediterranean Sea, starting in the Atlantic …

Phytoplankton is a fundamental component of marine food webs and play a crucial role in
marine ecosystem functioning. The phenology (timing of growth) of these microscopic algae …

Species belonging to the superorder Batoidea have been poorly assessed due to the lack of
information on their life history aspects and their limited economic value. This work presents …

Abstract The Aegean Sea's hydrological and circulation characteristics are as complex as its
geomorphological setting. All major Eastern Mediterranean (EMed) water masses can be …

This study investigates the intricate dynamics of siliceous plankton species within the open
marine regions of the Greek Seas, focusing on their seasonal and spatial variability. For this …

A rich data set on particulate matter optical properties and parameters (beam attenuation
coefficient, volume concentration, particle size and PSD slope), accompanied by …

This study investigates the composition, abundance, and vertical export of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) across three deep basins of the northeastern Mediterranean …

Sinking particles are a critical conduit for the export of organic material from surface waters
to the deep ocean. Despite their importance in oceanic carbon cycling, little is known about …
