BioChem: Prince Edward Island inlet phytoplankton monitoring during late summer to fall, 2001-2003

This study was carried out to compare the results of nutrient and phytoplankton measurements in inlets of Prince Edward Island (PEI), in order to look for relationships between species composition and nutrient levels. We also considered the likelihood of nutrient limitation within the phytoplankton community by comparing ambient nutrient concentrations with the inherent ability of the phytoplankton to take up the nutrients at low concentrations.
