Abstract

Nitrate (NO3–) plays an important role in ecosystems and aquaculture in the Yellow Sea (YS). Sparse observational data suggest that ocean currents and nitrification are crucial to NO3– flux in the YS; however, a quantitative assessment of these fluxes has not yet been performed. This study investigates seasonal and spatial variations in NO3– flux via currents and biological processes in the YS from 2006 to 2019 using a physical-biogeochemical coupled model. The model results show that the current-driven fluxes exceeded biological processes in the eastern and central regions of the YS, unlike in the western and northern regions. Advection of NO3– in the YS is mainly driven by cyclonic circulation in summer and fall, and anticyclonic circulation in spring and winter. The Subei Coastal Current along the coast of China plays a primary role in net advective influx of NO3– to the YS year round. The NO3– influx by the Yellow Sea Warm Current along the lower layer of the southcentral YS is offset by outflux through wind-driven surface currents in winter. The southward movements of the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water in summer and the Korean Coastal Current in winter are major NO3– outfluxes to the East China Sea. In terms of biological processes, NO3– is mainly consumed by phytoplankton during the spring bloom and supplied through organic matter decomposition and nitrification. Net supply of NO3– by biological processes was the greatest in the southcentral YS where the Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water is present.

  • The North China Sea (NCS) represents an ecologically important yet understudied region for OAE impact assessment, owing to its distinctive hydrology, ecological complexity, and intense anthropogenic pressure.

    “The North China Sea (NCS) represents an ecologically important yet understudied region for OAE impact assessment, owing to its distinctive hydrology, ecological complexity, and intense anthropogenic pressure (Tak et al., 2022).”

    From Biogeochemical responses to ocean alkalinity enhancement in the North China Sea (2026) · cites this paper as Tak et al., 2022

    The Introduction (page not supplied) describes the Yellow Sea as highly productive, rich in fishery resources, and shaped by seasonal currents; it also notes sparse observations concerning nitrate flux. The paper studies the Yellow Sea, not a region it calls the North China Sea, and the cited passages do not establish that the region is understudied for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) impacts or subject to intense anthropogenic pressure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
