Abstract

In this chapter the main key biogeochemical processes in China marginal seas, the methods, concepts, and focus on marine biogeochemical process research in China are presented. Then we put forward the prospects for biogeochemistry in China marginal seas.

Marine biogeochemical process research in China has made progress in the past 20 years. The research methods and concepts of marine biogeochemical processes have been established. Some key processes, including river input, biological action, and others, have been illustrated to some degree (Song, 2004). These processes play an important part in biogenic elements and other chemical components cycling.
