Abstract

This chapter provides a concise overview of the entire monograph by assembling summaries of 10 individual chapters starting with a global review of large-scale, persistent nutrient fronts of the World Ocean followed by regional chapters on the Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic, Baltic Sea, Kuroshio Current, and the Yellow Sea, a global review of CDOM dynamics at fronts, a chapter on persistent organic pollutants and marine organisms in the Kuroshio-Oyashio frontal zone, and two chapters on marine litter and its dynamics in frontal zones.
