Harmful algal blooms: How strong is the evidence that nutrient ratios and forms influence their occurrence? (2012, background): “As human activity is thought to have increased N and P loads to coastal waters by different proportions (Falkowski, 2000; Conley et al., 2009), resultant changes in the N”
Performance of the Redfield Ratio and a Family of Nutrient Limitation Indicators as Thresholds for Phytoplankton N vs. P Limitation (2010, methodology): “Several recent examinations of the metabolic basis of phytoplankton nutrient limitation and oceanic biogeochemistry (for example, Falkowski 2000; Geider and LaRoche 2002; Arrigo 2005) have deepened our understanding of both nutritional demands of phytoplankton, and of several ‘non-Redfield’…”
Alkaline phosphatase activities in the central Atlantic Ocean indicate large areas with phosphorus deficiency (2003, background): “…by a more comprehensive view that also assigns an important role to silica and to trace elements, and which takes into account changes in the controlling factors at different spatial and temporal scales (Tyrrell 1999, Falkowski 2000, Pahlow & Riebesell 2000, Tréguer & Pondaven 2000, Karl 2002).”
Population Dynamics of Harmful Cyanobacteria (2005, background): “In several oligotrophic parts of the oceans, low iron availability may impede nitrogen fixation, thus preventing the dominance of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria ( Falkowski, 2000 ).”
Seasonal phytoplankton nutrient limitation patterns as revealed by bioassays over Baltic Sea gradients of salinity and eutrophication (2007, background): “…ribosomal RNA constitutes the major pool, but also free nucleotides and phospholipids), while N is mainly used in proteins but is also needed for nucleic acids and key components of the photosynthetic machinery such as chlorophyll (Falkowski 2000, Geider & La Roche 2002, and references therein).”
Temperature and the biogeography of algal stoichiometry (2015, background): “Disentangling the relative importance of the influence of these and other mechanisms on the biogeography of algal stoichiometry is challenging because the mechanisms encompass multiple time-scales (ecological to evolutionary) and levels of biological organization (subcellular to ecosystems) (Falkows”
Phosphorus availability, phytoplankton community dynamics, and taxon‐specific phosphorus status in the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea (2006, background): “This approach, however, may be a poor measure of nutrient limitation for several reasons: (1) analytically determined dissolved inorganic nitrogen and SRP may deviate from ‘‘true’’ nutrient concentrations and do not necessarily reflect the bioavailable fractions (Baldwin 1998; Benitez-Nelson 2000), ”
Approaches for determining phytoplankton nutrient limitation (2001, background): “Furthermore, the reliance on Redfield ratios has been questioned by Falkowski (2000) who pointed out that the ratio is far from constant and has been embraced by aquatic ecologists as conveying more information than is warranted.”
Modelling planktonic ecosystems: parameterizing complexity (2003, background): “However, Falkowski (2000) suggests that we are still far from achieving that level of understanding and predictability.”
PRODUCTION AND NUTRIENT REMOVAL BY PERIPHYTON GROWN UNDER DIFFERENT LOADING RATES OF ANAEROBICALLY DIGESTED FLUSHED DAIRY MANURE 1 (2003, background): “:P ratios in green algae with cellulose walls (Falkowski 2000) could partially explain the high ratios at low loading rates and the decrease at higher loading rates where filamentous cyanobacteria and diatoms were common turf algae.”
