Our mo;va;on In the chilean northen patagonian Bords , the changes on microbial produc;vity had been related to solar radia;on radiaAon, water column straAficaAon and nutrients influx from freshwater runoff. During spring-‐summer high autotrophic biomass dominated by large cells and in winter lower autotrophic biomass dominated by small cells sustain the primary producAon. Nevertheless, the seasonal variability of solar radiaAon and its synopAc effects on the producAvity has not been assessed directly.

To take home… SynopBc variability of solar radiaBon, temperature and straBficaBon on the top 50 m of the water column in northern patagonian Mords lead to unexpected verBcal paOerns of biological producBon contrasBng with thec clasic seasonal varibility observed in this zones .
