Environmental control of open‐ocean phytoplankton groups: Now and in the future (2010, background): “In addition to nutrient and light co-limitation, as reviewed by Saito et al. (2008), we must also consider the interactive effects of temperature and factors such as Fe and CO2 concentrations on diatoms.”
Chain model of phytoplankton P, N and light colimitation (2009, background): “If N assimilation is controlled by P, N and P colimitation would instead have to be considered as biochemically dependent in terms of the classification proposed by Saito et al. (2008).”
Nickel Utilization in Phytoplankton Assemblages From Contrasting Oceanic Regimes (2010, background): “The cyanobacteria (and to a lesser extent, Ostreococcus-like picoeukaryotes) of Gulf of California community appears to be Ni–urea colimited in a biochemically independent fashion (Saito et al., 2008), with both Ni and urea additions inducing some”
Coherent patterns in bacterial growth, growth efficiency, and leucine metabolism along a northeastern Pacific inshore‐offshore transect (2011, background): “The notion of a single regulating factor of marine bacterioplankton growth is clearly an oversimplification (Saito et al. 2008) that does not capture the complexity of the regulation of bacterial activity in the ocean.”
Iron‐light interactions differ in Southern Ocean phytoplankton (2012, background): “In this study, we define iron–light co-limitation following that proposed by Arrigo (2005), as expanded upon by Saito et al. (2008)—’’Type III.”
The effect of vitamin B12 on phytoplankton growth and community structure in the Gulf of Alaska (2011, background): “2007), the addition of B12 combined with Fe significantly enhanced phytoplankton growth rates in the Gulf of Alaska, indicating that B12 can be a secondary limiting element (Saito et al. 2008) in this region.”
Nutrient co-limitation of primary producer communities. (2011, background): “2011) confound alternative definitions that have a strict biochemical interpretation (e.g. simultaneous vs. serial; Saito et al. 2008) or omit obvious types of co-limitation that are not necessarily super-additive (e.”
Co-limitation of diatoms by iron and silicic acid in the equatorial Pacific (2011, result): “Co-limitation can take several forms (Arrigo, 2005; Saito et al., 2008) with our results fitting the definition of a ‘type I’ form of an independent co-limitation (Saito et al.”
