A novel model for cyanobacteria bloom formation: the critical role of anoxia and ferrous iron (2014, background): “…John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Freshwater Biology, 59, 1323–1340 stoichiometric molar N : P quotient is conventionally set at 16 : 1 (Redfield, Ketchum & Richards, 1963), and while the ratio varies considerably among species, it is always greater than 1 (Klausmeier et al., 2004; Walve & Larsson, 2007)].”
The Functional Significance of Ribosomal (r)DNA Variation: Impacts on the Evolutionary Ecology of Organisms (2005, background): “This empirical base has now stimulated several lines of theoretical investigation of the GRH (Ågren 2004, Klausmeier et al. 2004, Vrede et al. 2004).”
Diel phosphorus variation and the stoichiometry of ecosystem metabolism in a large spring-fed river (2013, background): “Stoichiometric theory suggests that autotrophic elemental ratios are influenced by the ratio of light and nutrient availability (Sterner and Elser 2002), a pattern that is often (Klausmeier et al. 2004) but not always (Hall et al. 2005) supported empirically.”
Light and growth in marine phytoplankton: allometric, taxonomic, and environmental variation (2015, background): “These data also highlight a mechanistic link between the light-dependent growth of phytoplankton and nutrient biogeochemistry (Klausmeier et al. 2004).”
A conceptual framework for ecosystem stoichiometry: balancing resource supply and demand (2005, background): “Legovic and Cruzado (1997) and Klausmeier et al. (2004) developed a model of two essential resources that allows flexible stoichiometry.”
The role of functional traits and trade-offs in structuring phytoplankton communities: scaling from cellular to ecosystem level. (2007, background): “These eco-physiological traits are easily measured in the laboratory and can be directly linked to population-level measures of fitness and competitive ability using simple mathematical models (Droop 1973; Tilman 1982; Grover 1991; Klausmeier et al. 2004).”
Biology of the freshwater diatom Didymosphenia: a review (2009, background): “(16:1 molar, 7.2:1 by mass: Redfield et al., 1963) to indicate likely nutrient limitation based on water chemistry requires caution (Klausmeier et al., 2004), it provides a starting point for considering the ecology of D. geminata.”
Regional impacts of iron-light colimitation in a global biogeochemical model (2009, background): “, 2005), variable stoichiometry in phytoplankton (Klausmeier et al., 2004), or zooplankton life histories.”
Experiments linking nitrogenase gene expression to nitrogen fixation in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (2007, background): “Conversely, Klausmeier et al. (2004) note that there was significant variability in N : P ratios that is species-specific and is affected by physiological state and growth rate.”
A trait-based approach for downscaling complexity in plankton ecosystem models (2009, background): “…avoid that the system ’adapts’ toward unrealistic trait values.314 With the exception of a few resource allocation-based studies (Armstrong,315 2006; Klausmeier et al., 2004; Bruggeman and Kooijman, 2007), trade-offs are316 generally formulated without a mechanistic justification.317 15 We…”
