Recent insights about relationships between nutrient availability, forms, and stoichiometry, and the distribution, ecophysiology, and food web effects of pelagic and benthic Prorocentrum species

Nitrogen dynamics and phytoplankton community structure: the role of organic nutrients

“…4b). It is of note that P. minimum is also an important HAB species Glibert et al 2012), although its occurrence was comparatively short-lived. Some Pseudo-nitzschia species can produce the neurotoxin domoic acid which, when concentrated by filter-feeding shellfish and is ingested by humans, can result in Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (Davidson et al 2011).…”

The fate of phosphorus in the Yangtze (Changjiang) Estuary, China, under multi-stressors: Hindsight and forecast

“…The molar proportions of N:P:Si has often been used for an assessment of estuarine health (Glibert et al, 2012). Overloading of nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, has caused eutrophication worldwide in estuaries (Bricker et al,1999;Cloern, 2001).…”

Nutrient Fluxes from Sediments in the San Francisco Bay Delta

“…Nutrient loads, speciation, and stoichiometry affect productivity and phytoplankton composition and ultimately can alter trophodynamics (e.g., Berg et al 2001;Kemp et al 2005;Glibert 2010Glibert , 2012Glibert et al 2011;Parker et al 2012). While impacts of nutrients have long been ignored in this system compared to other stressors such as invasive bivalves (Alpine and Cloern 1992;Greene et al 2011), nutrients are now gaining attention as important ecosystem stressors (Dugdale et al 2007;van Nieuwenhuyse 2007;Jassby 2008;Glibert 2010Glibert , 2012Glibert et al 2011;Parker et al 2012). Nutrients loads have increased substantially over the past decades due to increased sewage effluent loads (Van Nieuwenhuyse 2007;Dugdale et al 2007;Glibert et al 2011).…”
