Our limited intuition of the small‐scale world of the plankton has biased the way we describe
and understand ocean ecology. Classical approaches consider fluxes of energy and matter …

Nitrate, phosphate, and silicate concentration profiles were measured at monthly frequency
at the DYFAMED time-series station (central Ligurian Sea) between 1991 and 2011. The …

The phytoplankton dynamics in the western Mediterranean Sea has been studied at the
DYFAMED (France JGOFS) time-series station from 1991 to 1999 by means of an analysis …

Recent findings on the distribution of methylated mercury (MeHgT) in waters have
highlighted the importance of organic carbon remineralization on the production of these …

The distribution of the chlorophyll a concentration ([Chl a]) in the Mediterranean Sea, mainly
obtained from satellite surface observations or from scattered in situ experiments, is updated …

Diel and seasonal variations in abundance, activity, and structure of particle-attached vs free-
living bacterial communities were investigated in offshore NW Mediterranean Sea (0–1000 …

Experimental work during a cruise along a W‐E transect in the Mediterranean Sea suggests
that (1) orthophosphate concentrations in the upper photic zone show a decreasing trend …

In coastal systems, the multiplicity of sources fueling the pool of particulate organic matter
(POM) leads to divergent estimations of POM composition. Eleven systems (two littoral …

Simultaneous measurements of atmospheric deposition and of sinking particles at 200 and
1000 m depth, were performed in the Ligurian Sea (North-Western Mediterranean) between …

Interannual variability in the spring bloom in the Irminger Basin, northern North Atlantic, is
investigated using SeaWiFS-derived chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration and satellite or …
