We present an overview of the plankton studies conducted during the last 25 years in the
epipelagic offshore waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This quasi-enclosed sea is …

Deep-sea ecosystems represent the largest biome of the global biosphere, but knowledge of
their biodiversity is still scant. The Mediterranean basin has been proposed as a hot spot of …

Because the Mediterranean has been subject for several decades to increasing
anthropogenic influences, monitoring algal biomass and primary production on a long‐term …

This study presents a model of chlorophyll and primary production in the pelagic
Mediterranean Sea. A 3-D-biogeochemical model (OPATM-BFM) was adopted to explore …

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is a relatively small ocean basin with an unusually
high nitrate to phosphate ratio in the deep waters (∼ 28: 1). As a consequence, the typical …

The annual cycle of plankton was studied over 14 years from 1984 to 2000 at a coastal
station in the Gulf of Naples, with the aim of assessing seasonal patterns and interannual …

Coastal habitats provide a plethora of ecosystem services, yet they undergo continuous
pressure and degradation due to the human-induced climate change. Conservation and …

The main outputs of a multidisciplinary and integrated studies are summarised. The results
incorporate the latest biogeochemical researches, at basin scale, in the Aegean Sea …

This work is a study of plankton food web structure and carbon flow in March and September
1997 in the Aegean Sea, area of outflow of Black Sea waters in the Mediterranean Sea …

Total and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (IP) was measured in both rainwater and aerosol
samples collected from two remote coastal areas: on the island of Crete (Greece) and at …
