Effects of experimental reduction of light and nutrient enrichments (N and P) on seagrasses: a review (2008, background): “Under excessive N conditions, carbon requirements for synthesizing amino acids may exceed carbon fixation capacity (reviewed in Turpin, 1991; Brun et al., 2002).”
Morphometric variations as acclimation mechanisms in Zostera noltii beds (2005, background): “On the other hand, the pattern observed in the exposed meadow could be driven by nutrient limitation (Short, 1983; Short et al., 1985; Short et al., 1995; Brun et al., 2002).”
The role of NH+4 toxicity in the decline of the submersed macrophyte Vallisneria natans in lakes of the Yangtze River basin, China (2007, background): “In seagrass Zostera noltii (Brun et al. 2002), terrestrial wheat and maize (Cramer and Lewis 1993; Schortemeyer et al. 1997), NH+4 stress inhibited root growth as a consequence of diminished carbon supply to the root, which was consistent with the present results.”
Waves and high nutrient loads jointly decrease survival and separately affect morphological and biomechanical properties in the seagrass Zostera noltii (2012, background): “Although the ammonium levels used in this experiment (< 10 mM) are close to toxic levels (van Katwijk et al. 1997; Brun et al. 2002), we lack the data to substantiate the hydrodynamic influence on ammonium toxicity in the present study, and this should be studied in the future.”
