Exploring the distance between nitrogen and phosphorus limitation in mesotrophic surface waters using a sensitive bioassay
The balance in microbial net consumption of nitrogen and phosphorus was investigated in samples collected in two mesotrophic coastal environments: the Baltic Sea (Tvärminne field station) and the North Sea (Espegrend field station). For this, we have refined a bioassay based on the response in alkal...
