Nutrient enrichment can increase the severity of coral diseases (2003, methodology): “Water column nutrient concentrations were manipulated using nylon nutrient diffusion bags filled with 30 g of OsmocoatTM (Scotts, Marysville, OH, USA) 9-6-12 timerelease fertilizer pellets (Worm et al. 2000).”
Stress tolerance of the invasive macroalgae Codium fragile and Gracilaria vermiculophylla in a soft-bottom turbid lagoon (2007, methodology): “The effect of nutrients was tested by adding two fertilizer stakes to half of the cages, similar to the method used in other enrichment studies (Worm et al. 2000).”
Effects of herbivores, nutrient enrichment, and their interactions on macroalgal proliferation and coral growth (2009, background): “Experiments available to date suggest that growth of Dictyota, as well as other brown macrophytes, are rarely enhanced by nutrient additions under field conditions (Miller and Hay 1996; Miller et al. 1999; Thacker et al. 2001; McClanahan et al. 2002, 2003, 2007).”
Strong bottom‐up and top‐down control of early life stages of macroalgae (2001, methodology): “We used a larger, year-round experimental study (Worm 2000; Worm et al. 2000a) as a platform for our short-term (4 week) experimental runs.”
Trophic cascades in a temperate seagrass community (2008, methodology): “This fertilizer provides a constant delivery of nutrients by leaching nitrogen (NO 3 ( , NO 2 ( and NH 4 ' ) and phosphate (PO 4 (3 ) over an extended period (6Á8 weeks; method reviewed by Worm et al. 2000 ).”
Experimental manipulation of shade, silt, nutrients and salinity on the temperate reef sponge Cymbastela concentrica (2006, background): “Although we did not test these assumptions, we are confident that slow-release fertilizers enhance nutrients beyond ambient conditions (e.g. Worm et al. 2000).”
The relative importance of nutrient enrichment and herbivory on macroalgal communities near Norman's Pond Cay, Exumas Cays, Bahamas: a "natural" enrichment experiment (2004, background): “Manipulative studies of nutrient enrichment have become popular for elucidating the significance of anthropogenic nutrient enrichment in benthic ecology, particularly where nutrients have historically been growth-limiting (Worm et al., 2000).”
