Contribution of riverine nutrients to the silicon biogeochemistry of the global ocean – a model study

Continental shelf seas are known to support a large fraction of the global primary production. Yet, they are mostly ignored or neglected in global biogeochemical models. A number of processes that control the transfer of dissolved nutrients from rivers to the open ocean remain poorly understood. Thi...
