TL;DR: In this article, a review of current functioning and responses of Mediterranean marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems with respect to key natural and anthropogenic drivers and to consider the ecosystems' responses to likely changes in physical, chemical and socio-economical forcings induced by global change and by growing anthropogenic pressure at the regional scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three measured anthropogenic tracers (CFC-11, Δ 14 C and 3 H) to assess the relevance of three estimates of anthropogenic CO 2 distributions based upon very different hypotheses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed interpolation procedures to estimate CT and AT from oxygen, salinity, and temperature data using all available data from the EU/MEDAR/MEDATLAS II database.

TL;DR: Based on the recently proposed composite tracer "TrOCA" as discussed by the authors, a novel and independent approach is developed to estimate the concentration of anthropogenic CO 2 in marine systems, which can be as high as 3 to 5.9 μmol kg −1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the conservative properties and the spatial distribution of the new composite tracer TrOCA (Tracer combining Oxygen, inorganic Carbon, and total Alkalinity) using oxygen (O2), dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO2) and total alkalinity (TA), from the Atlantic Ocean.
