Observations of phytoplankton productivity and growth rates in the Malin shelf break environment
The southern sector of the Malin Shelf, a subregion of the NW European Shelf, is noted for episodic and unimpeded incursions of oceanic water onto the shelf in an area where the northward flowing European slope current interacts with steep bathymetry, yet the in-situ biological consequences of these incursions are largely unexplored. In this study phytoplankton productivity, nitrate assimilation and community growth rates are presented to characterise in-situ biological conditions during a prominent chlorophyll bloom that occurred at the shelf break in July 2013. Surface waters were replete with nitrate (2–7 μmol L−1) and phosphate (0.1–0.4 μmol L−1) but deficient in silicate (Si < 1 μmol L−1). Chlorophyll concentrations were significantly negatively correlated with phosphate concentrations but not correlated with nitrate or silicate. High variability between stations in productivity, nitrate assimilation, and depth averaged phytoplankton community growth rates, which ranged from <0.01 to 0.14 d−1, could be attributed to subsurface gradients in production and biomass distributions. Though variable the magnitude of productivity rates in this sector of the Malin Shelf environment do not appear unusual relative to comparable observations suggesting that despite the uncommon physical conditions of the study site phytoplankton productivity was not significantly modified by proximity to oceanic influences.
期刊介绍:
Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include:
Physical sedimentology and geomorphology
Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic)
Marine environment and anthropogenic effects
Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features
Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology
Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health
Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical)
Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles
Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.
