Nitrogen and Phosphorus Limitation of Phytoplankton Growth in New Zealand Lakes: Implications for Eutrophication Control (2010, background): “These include less than 13:1 and greater than 36:1 (OECD 1982), less than 9:1 and greater than 23:1 (Guildford and Hecky 2000) and less than 22:1 as an indicator of N-limitation, based on observations of cyanobacteria (potential N-fixers) dominance (Smith and others 1995).”
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LITTORAL DIATOMS AND THEIR CHEMICAL ENVIRONMENT IN NORTHEASTERN GERMAN LAKES AND RIVERS 1 (2002, background): “Both phosphorus and nitrogen are nutrients that are often discussed as limiting factors for planktonic primary production (Sakamoto 1966, Dillon and Rigler 1974, Forsberg and Ryding 1980, Nürnberg 1996, Guildford and Hecky 2000).”
Eutrophication of lakes cannot be controlled by reducing nitrogen input: Results of a 37-year whole-ecosystem experiment (2008, background): “Average values for 1969–1974, 1975–1989, and after 1990 were 22–28 by weight, above the value of 20:1 where N limitation is usually inferred in freshwater or marine systems (22, 23).”
Alkaline phosphatase activities in the central Atlantic Ocean indicate large areas with phosphorus deficiency (2003, background): “…has also been reported for other open-ocean sites such as the subtropical central north Pacific (Perry 1972), the Sargasso Sea (Cotner et al. 1997, Guildford & Hecky 2000), the Indian Ocean (Hoppe & Ullrich 1999) and the Mediterranean Sea (Thingstad et al. 1998), suggesting that utilisation of P…”
The Deep Chlorophyll Maximum in Lake Superior (2004, background): “Munawar and Munawar (1978) reported a subthermocline phytoplankton biomass peak at an open water station in western Lake Superior sampled in September 1973.”
