• The Haber Bosch–harmful algal bloom (HB–HAB) link (2014, background): “Urea is also part of the dissolved organic N pool that is typically a very large component of the available N in nutrient rich waters (Glibert et al 2006, Solomon et al 2010).”
• Comparative effects of urea, ammonium, and nitrate on phytoplankton abundance, community composition, and toxicity in hypereutrophic freshwaters (2011, background): “2010), and yet little is known of its basic biogeochemistry (Solomon et al. 2010), further research is needed to quantify the transport, transformation, and effects of this ubiquitous fertilizer.”
• Harmful algal blooms: How strong is the evidence that nutrient ratios and forms influence their occurrence? (2012, background): “Urea concentrations in seawater are typically less than those of NO 3 or NHþ4 (Bronk, 2002) but local transient increases occur, particularly when rainfall runoff occurs from heavily urea fertilised areas such as the watersheds of Chesapeake Bay, Santa Cruez California USA, and the Knysna Estuary, S”
• Status, causes and controls of cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie (2014, background): “Phosphorus (a key component in detergents, industrial chemicals and in the common herbicides) and nitrogen (increasingly being applied within the Lake’s watershed as ammonia and urea fertilizers) remain of particular concern (Saxton et al. 2011; Solomon et al. 2010).”
• Pluses and minuses of ammonium and nitrate uptake and assimilation by phytoplankton and implications for productivity and community composition, with emphasis on nitrogen‐enriched conditions (2016, background): “Based on known rates of urea hydrolysis to NH14 (Solomon et al. 2010), such enrichment of urea can rapidly become a source of NH14 enrichment.”
