摘要
We examined the changes in the concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and phosphorus (DIP) in the surface waters of the Yellow Sea (YS), the southern sea (SS) of Korea, and the East/Japan Sea (ES) from 1995 to 2021. These marginal seas neighboring the Korean Peninsula maintained nutrient concentrations approximately an order of magnitude higher than those in the Kuroshio waters, indicating extraordinarily large terrestrial source inputs. Generally, the DIN concentration in the YS increased gradually due to the accumulation of terrestrial inputs, while the nutrient concentrations in the ES declined gradually mainly due to enhanced water stratification. The SS showed the maximum DIN concentrations around 2005, associated with freshwater influence. In Korean coastal waters within similar to 10 km from the coastline, nutrient concentrations declined sharply during this period due to decreased terrestrial nutrient inputs. The rapid changes in the nutrient levels in these seas may significantly alter biological production.
