Elevated nutrient content of tropical macroalgae increases rates of herbivory in coral, seagrass, and mangrove habitats (2004, background): “Increased nutrients (nitrogen, N and/or phosphorus, P) have been found to enhance productivity of many tropical algal species and assemblages (Hatcher and Larkum 1983; Lapointe 1987, 1989, 1997; Lapointe et al. 1987; Williams and Carpenter 1988; Larned and Stimson 1997; Schaffelke and Klumpp 1997, 1”
Experimental nutrient enrichment causes complex changes in seagrass, microalgae, and macroalgae community structure in Florida Bay (2005, background): “…macroalgae may also exhibit intraspecific variation in responses to nutrient enrichment along gradients corresponding to background nutrient influence (Fong et al. 2003), but algae do not necessarily exhibit the same limitation patterns as co-occurring seagrasses (Ferdie and Fourqurean 2004).”
Macroalgal blooms on southeast Florida coral reefs I. Nutrient stoichiometry of the invasive green alga Codium isthmocladum in the wider Caribbean indicates nutrient enrichment (2005, background): “Fong et al. (2003) collected water samples from two sites on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico.”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, methodology): “Others found stimulation by both N and P (Schaffelke and Klumpp 1998; Lapointe 1987; Paerl et al. 2008), or dual limitation (Fong et al. 2003).”
