Seasonal monitoring of the levels of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in two green macroalgae (Ulva and Enteromorpha) was carried out at 22 sampling sites in four embayments (rias) on the northwest… Expand
Nutrient Limitation in Macroalgae (Ulva and Enteromorpha) from the Rías Baixas (NW Spain)
- R. Villares, A. Carballeira
- Biology
- 1 September 2004
. Photosynthesis and growth rates in samples of two green seaweeds (Ulva and Enteromorpha) were monitored in the laboratory. The macroalgae were collected every 15 days from four coastal embayments… Expand
Nitrogen and phosphorus in Ulva sp. in the Galician Rias Bajas (northwest Spain): Seasonal fluctuations and influence on growth
- R. Villares, X. Puente, A. Carballeira
- Biology
- 1999
Coastal eutrophication has given cause for increasing concern. The Galician rias are ecosystems very sensitive to this phenomenon. In the present paper, we evaluate the possible nutrient limitation… Expand
