Phosphorus legacy: overcoming the effects of past management practices to mitigate future water quality impairment. (2013, background): “This leads to an increasing dominance of inorganic forms and critical shifts in the stoichiometry of nutrients (ratios of P, N, and C) delivered to downstream ecosystems (Dodds et al., 2010; Evans-White et al., 2009; Singer and Battin, 2007).”
The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “2009), other studies observe no clear and even contrary relationships (Singer and Battin 2007; Striebel et al. 2009; Evans-White et al. 2009).”
The Stream Biome Gradient Concept: factors controlling lotic systems across broad biogeographic scales (2014, background): “These nutrient effects can cascade to biota, and nutrients from land use have decreased the diversity of in-stream biota across a broad sample of streams in biomes ranging from deciduous forest Ozark watersheds to xeric watersheds of the US High Plains (Evans-White et al. 2009).”
The C:N:P stoichiometry of organisms and ecosystems in a changing world: A review and perspectives (2012, background): “A low C:P ratio favours fast-growing species that out compete and exclude slow-growing taxa (Frost and Elser, 2002), which diminishes the ecosystem’s biodiversity (Evans-White et al., 2009).”
