Publications of the UK Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry research programme.

The publications listed below are direct or indirect outputs from the UK Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry research programme, co-funded by NERC and Defra. Some of these may have resulted from work initiated before the start of the programme or supported through co-funding; for such publications, the criterion for inclusion is either a specific mention of SSB in the acknowledgements or significant SSB support for one of the authors.

Note that:

• Most publications have been independently peer-reviewed and/or published in World-of-Science listed journals. Those not subject to such scrutiny, but nevertheless considered worthy of inclusion, are given an asterisk [*] including international conference abstracts cited in Google Scholar and/or World of Science. Other conference abstracts, posters and press releases are not included here.
• Information on print publication overrides that for online publication (e.g. Discussions version) of the same paper; however, the latter details are given if the former are currently lacking.
