Nutrient and Phytoplankton Dynamics on the Inner Shelf of the Eastern Bering Sea
In the Bering Sea, the nitrogen cycle near Nunivak Island is complicated due to limited nutrient replenishment across this broad shelf, and substantial nitrogen loss through sedimentary processes. While diffusion at the inner front may periodically support new production, the inner shelf in this reg...
