Biological oceanography, biogeochemical cycles, and pelagic ecosystem functioning of the east central South Pacific Gyre: focus on Easter Island and Salas y Gomez Island
2014
Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research
The Exclusive Economic Zone of Chile defined by Easter Island and Salas y Gómez Island is in the South Pacific Sub-tropical Gyre (SPSG), putting it at the center of the most oligotrophic and biomass poor waters in the world. Only 10 biological oceanographic expeditions have entered this zone in 105 years . We review key aspects of the plankton ecosystem and biogeochemical function relevant for the understanding of and conservation planning for marine environments. Plankton production is limited
