Abstract: Abstract. Upwelling of nutrient rich waters into the sunlit surface layer of the ocean supports high primary productivity in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). However, subsurface waters not only contain macronutrients (N, P, Si) but also micronutrients, organic matter, and seed microbial communities that may modify the response to macronutrient inputs via upwelling. These additional factors are often neglected when investigating upwelling impacts on surface ocean productivity. Here, we investigated how different components of upwelled ...
