Nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria stimulates production in Baltic food webs
Filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria form extensive summer blooms in the Baltic Sea. Their ability to fix dissolved N2 allows cyanobacteria to circumvent the general summer nitrogen limitation, while also generating a supply of novel bioavailable nitrogen for the food web. However, the fate of the nitrogen fixed by cyanobacteria remains unresolved, as does its importance for secondary pro...
متن کاملEffect of nutrient limitation of cyanobacteria on protease inhibitor production and fitness of Daphnia magna.
Herbivore-plant interactions have been well studied in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems as they are crucial for the trophic transfer of energy and matter. In nutrient-rich freshwater ecosystems, the interaction between primary producers and herbivores is to a large extent represented by Daphnia and cyanobacteria. The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and ponds has, at least pa...

متن کاملNutrient Recycling by Eared Grebes in the Great Salt Lake
—Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling in lakes can be impacted by numerous abiotic and biotic factors. Large animals, such as birds and mammals, may recycle nutrients within a system or bring them in from surrounding habitats or different landscapes. Eared Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) congregate in large numbers in the fall on the Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, and may have an important role ...
متن کاملNutrient recycling by coastal sediments: effects of added algal material
The deposition of a Skeletonerna bloom onto sediment collected in a coastal bay was simulated and the effects on 02, N and P fluxes were recorded. A comparison of calculated net production and observed net efflux of inorganic nitrogen (IN = ammonium + nitrate) for the period prior to the addition of algae, indicated that two-thirds of the produced ammonium was nitrified and subsequently denitri...
