Nitrogen limitation and particulate elemental ratios of seston in hypersaline Mono Lake, California, U.S.A.
@article{Jellison2004NitrogenLA, title={Nitrogen limitation and particulate elemental ratios of seston in hypersaline Mono Lake, California, U.S.A.}, author={R. Jellison and J. Melack}, journal={Hydrobiologia}, year={2004}, volume={466}, pages={1-12} }
Particulate elemental ratios (C:N, N:P and C:Chl a) of seston in hypersaline (70–90 g kg−1) Mono Lake, California, were examined over an 11-year period (1990–2000) which included the onset and persistence of a 5-year period of persistent chemical stratification. Following the onset of meromixis in mid-1995, phytoplankton and dissolved inorganic nitrogen were substantially reduced with the absence of a winter period of holomixis. C:N, N:P and C:Chl a ratios ranged from 5 to 18 mol mol−1, 2 to 19… CONTINUE READING
