Oceanic controls on the primary production of the northwest European continental shelf: model experiments under recent past conditions and a potential future scenario
In this paper we clearly demonstrate that changes in oceanic nutrients are a first order factor in determining changes in the primary production of the northwest European continental shelf on time scales of 5–10 yr. We present a series of coupled hydrodynamic ecosystem modelling simulations, using t...
