Biogeochemical Processes of the Bohai Sea

  • Chapter
Biogeochemical Processes of Biogenic Elements in China Marginal Seas

Part of the book series: Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China ((ATSTC))

Abstract

In this chapter the biogeochemical processes in the Bohai Sea are described. The main contents deal with the distributions, transformation, and their controlling factors of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, and pollutants such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the seawaters and sediments. In the Bohai Sea, human activity and riverine input are the most important controlling processes in the variation of biogenic elements and pollutants.
