- •
Distribution of winter nutrients in Scottish waters (2007–2013) presented.
- •
Longer term monitoring will be required to detect trends.
- •
Total oxidised nitrogen concentrations were mostly below background.
- •
Oceanic nitrogen to silicate ratios were elevated.
- •
Alternative, more locally appropriate, background concentrations are pro-posed.
