Abstract
The Amur-Okhotsk system provides a test bed for understanding the functioning of continental forests in the Amur River basin on marine primary productivity in the northern North Pacific. In this project we investigate how the Amur River transports dissolved iron from forests to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Oyashio and supports the marine biota. We will also seek to clarify to what extent the human activities on the Amur River basin may disturb this eco-linkage.
