• Microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass depends on litter layer carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (2014, background): “It has been argued, first, that for disposing of C via 50 the respiratory chain, N for the proteins of the respiratory chain has to be invested, and therefore 51 it might be more beneficial for microorganisms to dispose of excess C by releasing DOC 52 (Hessen and Anderson, 2008).”
• Increased carbon dioxide availability alters phytoplankton stoichiometry and affects carbon cycling and growth of a marine planktonic herbivore (2012, background): “The observed effects on marine phytoplankton were mainly due to an increase in the availability of carbon and subsequent changes in the carbon-to-nutrient stoichiometry of the algal cells (Urabe and Waki 2009; Hessen and Anderson 2008).”
• Microalgae Tolerance to High Concentrations of Carbon Dioxide: A Review (2011, background): “The mechanistic implications of the effect of the elevated CO2 concentration on algal growth and productivity was previously studied [15,47,49].”
• Acquired phototrophy in aquatic protists (2009, background): “…oligotrichs, and gelatinous sheathes on some photosynthetic sessile ciliates), structures that increase food gathering capability and/or reduce sedimentation (e.g. spines on planktonic Foraminifera), and chemical as well as morphological defenses against predators (Hessen & Anderson 2008).”
• Ecological stoichiometry: An elementary approach using basic principles (2013, background): “Temporal adjustments are also expected in that animals may store lipids either as a result of surplus food or as a result of stoichiometric imbalance with excess C in the diet (Hessen and Anderson 2008).”
• Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “However, from a stoichiometric perspective, detritus, which is high in C, may result in metabolic costs to consumers, including altered metabolic rate and growth rate (Plath and Boersma, 2001 ; Hessen and Andersen, 2008 ).”
