摘要

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea is an unusual part of the global ocean, with biogeochemical characteristics that make it an ideal natural laboratory for studying the cycling of nutrients. Despite the fact that it has high inputs of pollutant nutrients from the large population in its catchment, it is as much a desert as the Sahara to the south. It has a highly unusual nitrogen:phosphorus (N:P) ratio which results in it being the largest body of water in the world whose major annual phytoplankton bloom is P-limited. It is also uniquely vulnerable to both climate and environmental change, and is the only area of the world for which the recent IPCC confidently predicted that the climate will get hotter and drier. It has also been directly affected by the end of the Nile flood on completion of the Aswan dam in 1965. These changes are affecting the physical circulation, and will continue to do so, and in turn will control the nutrient cycling. In this review we explain the reasons for some of the unusual biogeochemical features which make the Eastern Mediterranean Sea such an interesting place to study.
