• Thresholds in macroinvertebrate biodiversity and stoichiometry across water-quality gradients in Central Plains (USA) streams (2009, background): “Nutrient enrichment of stream autotrophic (Kahlert 1998, Stelzer and Lamberti 2001) and detrital (Meyer and Johnson 1983, Suberkropp and Arsuffi 1984, Stelzer et al. 2003) food resources occur as dissolved nutrient concentrations increase.”
• Response of Periphytic Algae to Gradients in Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Streamside Mesocosms (2006, background): “Molar ratios of water column N:P were not correlated with algal growth rates in our study or Stelzer & Lamberti (2001) , and should not be expected to be correlated unless both nutrients were depleted below saturating concentrations.”
• Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Stelzer & Lamberti, 2001; Bowman, Chambers & Schindler, 2005).”
• ROSEMARY MACKAY FUND ARTICLE: Ecological stoichiometry of trophic interactions in the benthos: understanding the role of C:N:P ratios in lentic and lotic habitats (2002, background): “In addition, in environments with pulsed nutrient supply, bacterial plasticity provides a competitive strategy that allows growth demands to be met by storing elements (i.e., luxury P-uptake) and/or lowering cellular demands (Vadstein 2000).”
• Comparing Effects of Nutrients on Algal Biomass in Streams in Two Regions with Different Disturbance Regimes and with Applications for Developing Nutrient Criteria (2006, background): “Low N:P ratios in stream water were not related to algal biomass, which was probably again caused by the complexity in relationships between nutrient ratios, loading rates, absolute water column concentrations, and uptake rates by benthic algae ( Stelzer & Lamberti, 2001; Snyder et al., 2002).”
