Short summary
We used a simple nitrogen-based box model to estimate production in the coastal northern Gulf of Mexico and off the west of the Korean Peninsula, which receive nitrogen in different forms. The Gulf of Mexico gets almost all its nitrogen from rivers, while atmosphere and groundwater discharges are also contributed in Korea. Production in both areas decreased away from river mouths, and we identified three zones with different productivity that vary in size as river flow and other factors change.
