TL;DR: In this paper, the primary production and the spatial and temporal distribution of the subtidal microphytobenthic community in a temperate coastal ecosystem, the Bay of Brest, were defined.

TL;DR: In this article, primary production was strongly correlated to chlorophyll a (chl a), and the productivity index PI varied independently of macronutrient concentrations in the Pacific equatorial system.

TL;DR: Examination of the importance of potential APA and the associated microbial dynamics in two estuaries presenting two different levels of PO4 concentrations suggests that the microbial mineralization of organic phosphorus may contribute to an estuarine PO4 production in spring and summer besides physicochemical processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first kinetic evidences for Si limitation of the diatom spring bloom in the northeast Atlantic were presented, supporting previous reports of potentially limiting silicic acid concentrations in this region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined seasonal and spatial variability in Kongsfjorden, on the western coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, and reported hydrological, biological, and biogeochemical data collected during spring, summer, and fall 2012.
