Factors favoring large organic production in the northern Adriatic: towards the northern Adriatic ecological model

The high interannual variability in the primary production of the northern Adriatic possibly reflects on the secondary production of the entire Adriatic. Although phytoplankton blooms are usually high in summer, the winter phytoplankton blooms are of special interest as in that period of low stratification especially large amounts of organic matter can be produced. Applied PCA analyses show that interannual variability in the winter production is primarily related to circulation, while the one in the spring/summer production is an immediate response to the Po River discharge. In addition, forcings from the previous period, up to a year, play a significant role in interannual changes of bioproduction.
