Regeneration of Nutrients

  • Chapter
Primary Productivity and Biogeochemical Cycles in the Sea

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 43))

Abstract

In the ten years since this subject was last reviewed (Harrison, 1980), significant progress has been made in understanding remineralization processes in the sea, where they occur, which organisms are responsible, and what role regenerated nutrients play in primary productivity. A proliferation of research on oceanic nutrient cycles in the 80s produced numerous excellent books and review papers on the subject (Morris, 1980; Platt, 1981; Williams, 1981; Fogg, 1982; Azam et al., 1983; Carpenter and Capone, 1983; Ducklow, 1984; Fasham, 1984; Smetacek and Pollehne, 1986; Blackburn and SĪ•rensen, 1988). Most of this literature has emphasized small scale to mesoscale processes within the oceanic euphotic zone and focussed on the role of microbial communities and their components in nutrient regeneration.
