abstract
The overall cycles of nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon in the sea are described and compared. Data on the fluxes and rates of change between various pools of each nutrient are given, where available, and gaps in knowledge are pointed out. The various methods used to determine such fluxes are reviewed, and differences between coastal and offshore systems are discussed. Limnological Society of southern Africa.
