Phytoplankton communities from San Francisco Bay Delta respond differently to oxidized and reduced nitrogen substrates - even under conditions that would otherwise suggest nitrogen sufficiency
The effect of equivalent additions of nitrogen (N, 30-40 μM-N) in different forms (ammonium, NH4+, and nitrate, NO3-) under conditions of different light exposure on phytoplankton community composition was studied in a series of four, 5-day enclosure experiments on water collected from the nutrient-...
