Abstract
In general, ocean physical processes affect marine biogeochemical cycles and ecology. The South China Sea (SCS), the largest semi-enclosed tropical sea in the Pacific Ocean, has a variety of processes that are influenced by global change and human activities. The biogeochemistry and ecology of the SCS are controlled by a complex interplay of processes, many of which need to be better understood. Under the pressure of global change, interdisciplinary research efforts on the interaction of physical, biological, biogeochemical and sedimentological processes are required. Therefore, this Research Topic aims to facilitate discussions on the use of observational, experimental, and modeling approaches to clarify how physical dynamics at multiple temporal and spatial scales affect the biogeochemistry and ecology of the SCS in the context of global change. It is a collection of 14 original and novel articles in the following four areas of research.
