  abstract = {{A}n analysis based on a multi-decadal physical–biogeochemical hindcast simulation (1980-2009) was conducted to characterize the drivers of the spatial distribution of phytoplankton biomass and production in the north-west ({NW}) {A}frican upwelling system. {T}o that end, a comparative box analysis representing homogeneous sub-regions in the {NW} {A}frican upwelling system has been conducted. {T}he sub-regions have been defined using the near-surface horizontal circulation patterns. {I}n each box, we analysed the dynamics of primary productivity and nutrients with regard to advective and diffusive matter fluxes at the boundaries and local biological production and/or uptake. {T}he nature and variability of the matter exported from the coastal margin to the adjacent open ocean were also subsequently depicted. {T}his variability of the primary production may impact the distribution and abundance of fish populations, and their associated fisheries, on a large range of timescales.},
