Scope and Contents

Contents

The oligotrophic waters of the Subtropical Gyres cover >60% of the total ocean surface and contribute >30% of the global marine carbon fixation. Despite apparently uniform growth conditions over broad areas, primary production in these regions exhibits a remarkable degree of variability. In this study of 34 stations in the North and South Atlantic...
