Oligotrophication and Metabolic Slowing-Down of a NW Mediterranean Coastal Ecosystem

Increased oligotrophication is expected for oligotrophic areas as a consequence of ocean warming, which reduces diffusive vertical nutrient supply due to strengthened stratification. Evidence of ocean oligotrophication has been, thus far, reported for the open ocean. Here we reported oligotrophicati...
