Abstract

Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations in the oligotrophic surface waters of the South China Sea decrease from ∼20 nM in March 2000 to ∼5 nM in July 2000, in response to seasonal water column stratification. These minimum DIP concentrations are one order of magnitude higher than those i...
