  abstract = {{C}ontinental margins play an essential role in global ocean biogeochemistry and the carbon cycle; however, global assessments of this role remain highly uncertain. {T}his uncertainty arises from the large variability over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales of the processes that characterize these environments. {H}igh-resolution simulations with ocean biogeochemical models have emerged as essential tools to advance biogeochemical assessments at regional scales. {H}ere, we examine the processes and balances for carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles along the {U}.{S}. {W}est {C}oast in an 11-year hindcast simulation with a submesoscale-permitting oceanic circulation coupled to a biogeochemical model. {W}e describe and quantify the biogeochemical cycles on the continental shelf, and their connection to the broader regional context encompassing the {C}alifornia {C}urrent {S}ystem. {O}n the shelf, coastal and wind stress curl upwelling drive a vigorous overturning circulation that supports biogeochemical rates and fluxes that are approximately twice as large as offshore. {E}xchanges with the proximate sediments, submesoscale shelf currents, bottom boundary layer transport, and intensified cross-shelf export of shelf-produced materials further impact coastal and open-ocean balances. {W}hile regional variability prevents extrapolation of our results to global margins, our approach provides a powerful tool to identify the dominant dynamics in different shelf setting and quantify their large-scale consequences.},
