An overview of fertilizer‐P recommendations in Europe: soil testing, calibration and fertilizer recommendations (2012, background): “As a consequence, the contribution of agricultural non-point source P pollution to the eutrophication of water bodies has become a problem (Carpenter, 2008) and many European water bodies are now suffering from eutrophication (HELCOM 2005; Csathó et al.”
The frequency and magnitude of non‐additive responses to multiple nutrient enrichment (2011, background): “At the crux of the debate is whether controlling nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or both, should frame conservation initiatives (Carpenter 2008; Conley et al. 2009).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, result): “This conclusion contradicts some authors, such as Carpenter ( 2008 ) and Schindler et al.”
Agronomic phosphorus imbalances across the world's croplands (2011, background): “Understanding agricultural P use is key to managing global phosphate rock reserves (14) and mitigating the risk for potentially irreversible eutrophication of lakes (15).”
Guiding principles for the development and application of solid-phase phosphorus adsorbents for freshwater ecosystems (2016, positive): “Several subsequent publications have reinforced this viewpoint (Carpenter 2008; Patterson et al. 2011; Schindler 2012).”
