A diatom-based index for the biological assessment of eastern Canadian rivers : an application of correspondence analysis (CA) (2006, background): “The fact that the IDEC values vary for the same concentration in nutrient (TP or TN) may also reflect high algal growth rates that may be depleting ambient nutrient concentrations, resulting in a low nutrient concentration in the water column (Biggs 1990; Dodds 2003).”
Stoichiometric flexibility in response to fertilization along gradients of environmental and organismal nutrient richness (2015, background): “Analogously, total dissolved suspended N and P were recorded for aquatic studies when possible; water-column total nitrogen: total phosphorus (TN: TP) ratio is a key indicator of primary producer nutrient limitation in both marine and freshwater systems (Dodds 2003, Smith 2006).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “Different ratios may be obtained depending upon the form(s) specifically included in the ratio (Dodds, 2003 , 2009 ).”
