Time Variability Patterns of Eutrophication Indicators in the Bay of Algeciras (South Spain)

Abstract: In the Bay of Algeciras (BA), intensive urban and industrial activityis underway, which is potentially responsible for the release of significant quantities of nutrients. However, the assessment of the impact of these discharges is complex. Nutrient concentration in the surface layer is per se strongly variable due to the variability associated with the upwelling of nutrient-enriched deep Mediterranean water (MW), which in turn is regulated by atmospheric forcing. The aim of this study is to determine the effe… Show more

“…Lateral gradients can also be detected in surface chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration, which serves as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass [8]. Chl-a can act as a passive tracer of physical dynamics and can be used to estimate productivity (e.g., [9,10]). Thus, chl-a fronts are often used to represent biological fronts, which can be defined as transition regions that separate high-productivity from low-productivity waters and establish the boundaries between different nutrient concentrations.…”
