| Zusammenfassung |
| The overall goal of the BOUM (Biogeochemistry from the Oligotrophic to the
Ultraoligotrophic Mediterranean) experiment was to obtain a better
representation of the interactions between planktonic organisms and the
cycle of biogenic elements in the Mediterranean Sea (MS), in the context of
global climate change and, more particularly, on the role of the ocean in
carbon sequestration through biological processes. The BOUM experiment was
organized around three main objectives: (1) to give a longitudinal
description of the biogeochemistry and the biological diversity of the MS
during the strongest stratified period, (2) to study processes at the centre
of three anticyclonic eddies, and (3) to obtain a representation of the main
biogeochemical fluxes and the dynamics of the planktonic trophic network.
The international BOUM cruise took place between 16 June and 20 July 2008,
involved 32 scientists on board, and covered around 3000 km in the MS from
the south of Cyprus to Marseilles (France). This paper describes in detail
the objectives of the BOUM experiment, the implementation plan of the cruise
before giving an introduction of the 25 other papers published in this
special issue. |
