Limitation of Phytoplankton Primary Production by Biogenic Elements in the Coastal Waters of the Azov-Black Sea Basin as a Natural Factor in Conditioning the Marine Environment
Journal: Water
Year: 2025

The study focuses on determining the concentrations of nitrites, nitrates, ammonium, and mineral phosphorus in the waters of the Azov-Black Sea basin. It investigates the limitation of primary phytoplankton production in the region, and evaluates the impact of bifurcation (switching of limiting factors) on the natural conditioning of the marine environment concerning biogenic elements. The research was conducted during 2023–2024 in Streletskaya Bay (Sevastopol), coastal areas of the northeastern
