TL;DR: In this article, the long-neglected contribution of tropical cyclones to ocean primary production may be as much as 20-30% with an average of 14 cyclones passing over the South China Sea.

TL;DR: A survey of the chemical hydrography and Chla distribution in the middle and outer shelves of the East China Sea was carried out in July 1992 as mentioned in this paper, where high standing stock of Chia (30-110 mg m−2) and supersaturation of oxygen (up to 130%) were observed in the plume of the Changjiang Diluted Water, which was enriched in nitrate and silicate but depleted in phosphate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined human impacts on Global Biogeochemical cycling via the Coastal Zone and Ocean Margins, and the biogeochemical transformation of Silicon along the Land-Ocean Continuum and Implications for the Global Carbon Cycle.

TL;DR: A one-year study of the fluxes of the total suspended matter (TSM) and particulate organic carbon (POC) in different parts of Lanyang Hsi, a typical small mountainous river in subtropical northeastern Taiwan, indicated that the mean TSM and POC yields of the whole drainage area were high (3,600 and 23 g m-2 yr-I, respectively) but that the yields of less disturbed (control) tributaries were only l&, of the mean yields for the whole area.

TL;DR: Tseng et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the seasonal pattern of phytoplankton biomass in low-latitude waters in the South China Sea and found that the higher biomass was associated with the lowest sea surface temperature and the highest wind speed in the year.
