Abstract
⺠Seawater organic matter (OM) dynamics were studied at two coastal sites (natural and urbanised). ⺠Low trophic value OM (high C:N ratio) accumulated at the urbanised site in summer-autumn. ⺠Efficient degradation and remineralisation activity coped with OM accumulation at the urbanised site. ⺠Allochthonous inputs and efficient OM recycling sustain microautotrophs also in summer-autumn. ⺠These autotrops (toxic dynoflagellates in previous years) may lead to severe dystrophic conditions.
