The nitrogen (N) cycle in marginal seas, as an important component of global marine biogeochemistry and the Earth's climate system, is dynamic and complicated (Gruber & Galloway, 2008;Voss et al., 2013). Marginal seas receive considerable amounts of human-derived N via atmospheric transport and river input (Jickells et al., 2017); on the other hand, waters in the marginal sea communicate with the open ocean, which substantially affects the nutrient distribution, budget and cycling in its interior (Chen, 2010;Dai et al., 2013;Xu et al., 2018). The impacts of anthropogenic activities and communication with the open ocean have been imprinted into nutrient
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
