Nitrogen fixation by Trichodesmium spp.: An important source of new nitrogen to the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean (2005, background): “Phosphorus is also present at extremely low concentrations in the tropical North Atlantic [Wu et al., 2000] and can be a limiting factor [Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al., 2001, 2004].”
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): “2008; Güsewell and Gessner 2009), capacity of N2 fixation (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001), plant–herbivore–predator relationships (Ngai and Jefferies 2004; Tibbets and Molles 2005; Kagata and Ohgushi 2006), ecosystem-specific composition and diversity (Roem and Berendse 2000; Olde Venterink et al.”
Competition and facilitation between unicellular nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria and non—nitrogen‐fixing phytoplankton species (2007, methodology): “Competition model—Our model is an extension of earlier competition models developed by Tilman (1982), Huisman and Weissing (1995), Boushaba and Pascual (2005), and Passarge et al.”
Phosphate availability controls Trichodesmium spp. biomass in the SW Pacific Ocean (2005, background): “Light, temperature (Carpenter et al. 2004) and nutrient availability, particularly that of phosphate (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001, Mulholland et al. 2002, Fu & Bell 2003) and iron (Behrenfeld & Kobler 1999, Kustka et al. 2002), could physiologically control the kinetics of nitrogen fixation.”
Iron requirements for dinitrogen‐ and ammonium‐supported growth in cultures of Trichodesmium (IMS 101): Comparison with nitrogen fixation rates and iron: carbon ratios of field populations (2003, methodology): “Nonetheless, we may hypothesize the relative potential for P limitation of Australian populations as compared to our previous results obtained along a cruise transect in the western North Atlantic Ocean (Sañudo-Wilhelmy et al. 2001).”
