Ecological stoichiometry: An elementary approach using basic principles (2013, background): “Live autotrophs often contribute a relatively modest fraction of bulk seston both in freshwater (Hessen et al. 2003) and marine (Frigstad et al. 2011) ecosystems, where detritus or heterotrophs of mixed origin may dominate at least temporarily and thus strongly affect seston stoichiometry.”
Food quantity and quality regulation of trophic transfer between primary producers and a keystone grazer (Daphnia) in pelagic freshwater food webs (2007, result): “TP was also identified as the main driver of sestonic C:P ratios in a recent study focusing on this subject ( Hessen 2006 ).”
