Experimental tests of nutrient limitation in freshwater picoplankton.
On the basis of correlative studies, picoplankton in Calder Lake, New York, are apparently unaffected by seasonal fluxes in nutrient (N and P) levels. In this small eutrophic lake, picoplankton (<2.0- to 0.2-mum size) and nanoplankton (<20 to >2 mum) predominate. Microplankton (>20 mum) are typically least important. Experiments were conducted in situ to test whether N, P or N/P ratios affect t...
متن کاملFreshwater autotrophic picoplankton : a review
Autotrophic picoplankton (APP) are distributed worldwide and are ubiquitous in all types of lakes of varying trophic state. APP are major players in carbon production in all aquatic ecosystems, including extreme environments such as cold ice-covered and/or warm tropical lakes and thermal springs. They often form the base of complex microbial food webs, becoming prey for a multitude of protozoan...

15 صفحه اولNutrient Limitation in Tropical Streams of Tanzania
Communities of plants are thought to grow until they reach some limiting factor such as light, space, available nutrients or other limitation. Very often this limiting factor is a nutrient limitation. Therefore, if plants are provided with the essential nutrient they lack, they will expand their community’s biomass. This phenomenon is well studied in temperate communities. In those ecosystems, ...
متن کاملNutrient limitation of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay
This paper presents evidence of a seasonal shift from P to N as the nutrient limiting the accumulation of algal biomass in Chesapeake Bay. Following the winter/spring maximum in freshwater runoff, (1) the ratio of dissolved inorganic nitrogen to soluble reactive phosphorus (DIN/PO,) was greater than the N/P of algal biomass; (2) alkaline phosphatase activity was high; (3) phosphate turnover tim...
