Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are characterised by high biological activity and heterotrophy which, in combination with weak ventilation, leads to the formation of Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZ) in sub-surface waters. The latter are characterised by intense sub-oxic waters that extend from shallow depths over several hundred meters of the water column and which support major perturbation of marine biogeochemical cycles.
