Around one third of current Arctic Ocean primary production sustained by rivers and coastal erosion

Around one third of current Arctic Ocean primary production sustained by rivers and coastal erosion

The Arctic Ocean is influenced by carbon and nutrients from rivers and erosion, but how this affects phytoplankton productivity is not understood. Here, the authors use a spatio-temporally resolved biogeochemical model to estimate that the input of carbon and nutrients fuels 28–51% of annual Arctic...
