The termination of the Mid-Holocene warm and humid phase coincides with the “4.2 ka” climate event. Our data exhibit an N–S time transgressive aridification gradient around the Aegean Sea, most probably associated with the reorganization of the general atmospheric circulation during the Mid-...
In order to test the hypothesis of P-limitation on primary production and microbial biomass, a mesoscale Lagrangian phosphate-enrichment experiment was performed in the warm core of the Cyprus Eddy (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) in May 2002. This study reports the effects of the phosphate addition on...
