Effects of the benthic cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula on larval recruitment of the reef corals Acropora surculosa and Pocillopora damicornis (2004, background): “…to cyanobacterial bloom formation in the benthic marine environment have not been definitively identified, but low wave action (Thacker and Paul 2001), phosphate levels (Kuffner and Paul 2001), and iron bioavailability (J. Maragos, personal communication) may be worth examining in the field.”
Net Loss of CaCO 3 from a subtropical calcifying community due to seawater acidification: mesocosm-scale experimental evidence (2009, background): “Increases in ammonium concentration during incubations containing cyanobacteria have been observed and reported in other incubation studies (Kuffner and Paul, 2001).”
Experimental nutrient enrichment causes complex changes in seagrass, microalgae, and macroalgae community structure in Florida Bay (2005, background): “Evidence for both P limitation (Lapointe 1989) and N limitation (Larned 1998) suggests that tropical macroalgal responses to nutrient en- richment are highly species-specific and vary among regions.”
40 Years of benthic community change on the Caribbean reefs of Curaçao and Bonaire: the rise of slimy cyanobacterial mats (2017, background): “Many cyanobacterial species can fix nitrogen (Larkum et al. 1988), but are limited in growth by phosphorous or iron (Kuffner and Paul 2001), indicating they may benefit from elevated nutrient levels in the water.”
Inhibition of coral recruitment by macroalgae and cyanobacteria (2006, background): “…have different ecological roles than macroalgae; because they can fix atmospheric nitrogen, their growth may be limited by other nutrients, such as phosphorus or iron (Paerl 1990, Fong et al. 1993, Kuffner & Paul 2001), and their modes of reproduction and dispersal differ from those of macroalgae.”
Influence of initial tissue nutrient status of tropical marine algae on response to nitrogen and phosphorus additions (2003, background): “In addition, H. incrassata from a lagoon in Guam did not respond to nutrients in a 9 d experiment (Kuffner & Paul 2001); the authors attribute this lack of response to the nutrientreplete condition of the algae.”
