“…Recruitment from sediment has been observed among various algal groups, including cyanobacteria (Pettersson et al, 1993;Olli et al, 2005), dinoflagellates (Hansson, 1996;Kremp, 2001;McQuoid, 2005) cryptophytes (Salonen et al, 1984;Hansson, 1996), chrysophytes (Sandgren, 1983), diatoms (McQuoid & Godhe, 2004;McQuoid, 2005), and euglenophytes (Olli et al, 1996). Recruitment from resting stages usually occurs in response to an external stimulus, such as a change in temperature, light conditions, nutrient or oxygen concentrations, salinity or grazer abundance (Fryxell, 1983;Hansson, 1996;McQuoid, 2005;Olli et al 2005).…”
