An annotated nitrogen budget calculation for the northern Adriatic Sea
TLDR
In this article, the nitrogen budget of the northern Adriatic, one of the most productive subregions in the Mediterranean area, was estimated from data sets collected since 1966 and from results reported in the literature.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the effective transport of active N and P from land to the shelf through very large rivers is reduced to 292 · 109 moles y-1 of N and 13 · 109moles y -1 of P.

Inputs, transformations, and transport of nitrogen and phosphorus in Chesapeake Bay and selected tributaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assemble and analyze quantitative annual input-export budgets for total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) for Chesapeake Bay and three of its tributary estuaries (Potomac, Patuxent, and Choptank rivers).

Effect of Water Residence Time on Annual Export and Denitrification of Nitrogen in Estuaries: A Model Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of annual average response of an estuary to mean nitrogen loading rate and freshwater residence time was developed and tested for 11 North American and European estuaries having a wide range of physical characteristics, nitrogen loading rates, and geographical and climatic settings.

Distribution of Viruses and Dissolved DNA along a Coastal Trophic Gradient in the Northern Adriatic Sea.
TL;DR: The distribution of viral and other microbial abundances as well as the concentrations of dissolved DNA along a trophic gradient in the northern Adriatic Sea were determined and some kind of interaction between heterotrophic nanoflagellates and viruses is proposed, concluding that viral activity may play a significant role in food web structure under changing trophIC conditions.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and biogenic silicon budgets for the northern adriatic sea
TL;DR: DeGobbić et al. as mentioned in this paper estimated nitrogen, phosphorus and biogenic silicon budgets for the Mediterranean Sea, and the main processes driving the biogeochemical cycle of these biogenic elements were ranked as to their relative importance.

Nitrogen fixation in the marine environment.
TL;DR: The minor contribution by nitrogen fixation to the overall nitrogen economy of the sea is not consistent with the supposition that nitrogen is the primary limiting nutrient and suggests that factors other than nitrogen availability limit phytoplankton growth rates.
