Global analysis of ocean phytoplankton nutrient limitation reveals high prevalence of co-limitation
Abstract Nutrient availability limits phytoplankton growth throughout much of the global ocean. Here we synthesize available experimental data to identify three dominant nutrient limitation regimes: nitrogen is limiting in the stratified subtropical gyres and in the summertime Arctic Ocean, iron is...
