| Abstract |
Considering that a return to the pristine reference value is not achievable, another methodology was then proposed based on historical R-MIRO simulations of annual primary (PP) and copepod (CP) productions where the CP:PP ratio can be considered an indicator of trophic efficiency. The analysis of changing CP:PP ratios in relationship with simulated winter concentrations and annual inputs of nutrients showed that the decrease in trophic efficiency was related to the imbalanced DIN and DIP inputs (N:P > 25) explained here by the reduction in DIP loads after 1985 while DIN remained elevated. On this basis, a critical DIN load estimated at 60 kT y- 1 was proposed to re-equilibrate the N:P balance in the BCZ and to favour diatoms over Phaeocystis colonies. More generally we conclude that N:P ratios in nutrient loads (or winter stocks in the coastal area) in excess of 25 in Phaeocystis ecosystems are indicative of Phaeocystis colony dominance and weak trophic efficiency. |
